Gargamel Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Hi, I am new to this home theater thing, I own a Sherwood 7106 and it says that it has a subwoofer pre out. Now my question is how should I hook a pair of RP-5s I originally used a y adapter, hooked up to the lfe inputs of the speakers, then I read that I shouldn't be using that because it is a pre-out and hooked them up to the line ins. The bass did not sound nearly as good hooked up to the line ins. Now I have it hooked up so that there is one cable fromt the amp going to the right speaker's LFE then from that speaker's LFE out I have it going to the left speakers LFE in. Also I would like to know if I should have the jumper hooked up between the two pairs of binding posts. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 gar welcome. yes u have it correct as your ears tell u. they mean DON'T connect the LFE in to a full range preout like the front preout can be. but the SUB preout is a lowpass filtered output which works best w/ your rp nonfiltered "LFE" input. (don't want that double filtering going on). you do want to leave the gold straps on so u don't lose any material between the high & low connections. may want to use better quality speaker wire in place of the gold straps. i used speaker wire on mine by just striping off enough to thread thru both high & low posts. or u could just make 4 lil wire sections to put between them if you're using connectors like banana plugs. ------------------ My Home Systems Page This message has been edited by boa12 on 01-29-2002 at 06:44 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
