I just bought a PSW303 sub and want to hook it up to my Yamaha RX-V657 receiver. Not sure if the receiver is filtered or unfiltered, but I hooked it up to the unfiltered in the sub and then on the advice of the salesman, hooked it up to the line in instead. I liked the sound better with the LFE hookup but I don't want to damage anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lee

    Welcome to the Club Polk Forums! Stick with the LFE hookup. Dows your sub have a crossover? Good luck!

    Hi Lee and welcome to Club Polk,
    We do have a Subwoofer Forum, so you might post your topic there as well. Sometimes people don't cruise all the forum sections.

    Also, please check out how to calibrate your setup with an SPL meter; I got one from Radio Shack (aka Rat Shack here in the forum), it made a huge difference in the sound field depth. :D

    Cya,

    Thanks for the welcome and responses to my call for help!! I did post in the troubleshooting forum also, just had trouble learning the ins and outs of the forum at first. I plugged into the LFE on the sub and I really like the sound much better. Thanks again everyone!
