Sub hookup for 7600 system?

Hi, I am going to be hooking up my system soon and am wondering if I should use the LFE out instead of the speaker wiring Polk method. I have a Pioneer Elite 54TX AVR and a Polk PSW505 sub. Thanks.

I would say LFE, but hey, that's just me.

Great, I want to use the LFE, makes it much easier. Plus, I spent good money on a subwoofer connect, I'd like to use it.;)

See I would say the opposite go the polk method this would provide you with a better xover setup and tuning

His receiver should have adjustable crossover points. Also if you use the LFE then you can turn down the subwoofer by adjusting the LFE level on the receiver using the remote, instead of having to get up and adjust the sub.

Willow

good point as long as his receiver can adjust the xover.if not the polk way would be best

I can adjust the crossover settings on the reciever and the Elite has like 5 settings. What do you think I should set it at, based on my system?

Willow

I would say 100 or 120.....depends on the frequency range of the sats


edit I think it's the other way...80 or 90

I will set it at the THX level of 80 then. Thanks.
