budabear Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Hi, I've got a Klipsch KSW200 hooked up to my Yahama A\V Receiver and I'm not getting much\any bass. The sub is hooked up to my Sub Out of the receiver. I happened to go through the instructions last night and it says that you can hook up the sub through "Sub Out"(LFE) and also through the speaker terminals. This makes no sense to me. Can any one shed any light on this for me. What is the best way to hook the sub to a system for optimal performance. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 First the sub out should be active,in the setup menu be sure to set on MIX LFE and BASS to the SUB OUT.So no matter if you use in HT mode 5.1 or stereo the sub will be functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budabear Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 I do have the sub set up in the menu. I even have it set up for full volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggs Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Try moving it around. Placement is critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Budabear - You didn't mention what your source (CD, DVD, etc...) was when you were experiencing no bass. If it was CD, see page 40 of your owner's manual. If you haven't already done so, set the LFE/Bass Out to BOTH (which is what TheEARS was talking about). This will cause bass to be sent to both the LARGE front speakers AND the sub, which will get the sub involved in both Stereo output as well as Home Theater-type output. Otherwise it is only outputting whatever is in the LFE (.1) channel of DVDs. Since CDs don't have a .1 channel, you get no sub output from CDs. Apologies if you already took care of this and knew about it. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budabear Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 I decided to go back to basics and start at the begining. Of all things it was my cable that was bad. Boy do I feel dumb! It's been a while but I got my BOOM back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggs Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Awesome. A not-entirely-too-expensive fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
