"Low level LFE connection method!"

edited January 2003 in Subwoofer Hookup & Bass Management
Should I be going into the Line In (Unfiltered) port with one wire, instead of splitting the signal into the ports marked Line In (filtered)?
OK I asked this question over two weeks ago. Unable to get an answer I had to break it down into kindergarten sized pieces to finally get answers from Polksters.

Following the illustrations in Polk’s book resulted in double filtering of the subwoofers signals.

Polk’s web site said, "Resist all temptation to use the subwoofer output jack-please!

This statement has caused me a lot of grief. Today’s modern equipment is perfectly able to use the subwoofer outlet. That is what it is there for.

What I learned here is that in my case all of the low tones from every source are reproduced using the low level LFE connection method to the sub.

Letting your Amp divert the Low signals directly to your subwoofer lightens the demands on your amp making it easier for it to use it's full force concentrating on mids and highs.

By using the "low level LFE connection method," to your sub, hook up will be easyer. One Moster Cable.

It will result in more efficient management of current demands on your Amp and better sound.
"At the first bend, I had the clear sensation that Tazio had taken it badly and that we would end up in the ditch; I felt myself stiffen as I waited for the crunch. Instead, we found ourselves on the next straight with the car in a perfect position. I looked at him, his rugged face was calm, just as it always was, and certainly not the face of someone who had just escaped a hair-raising spin. I had the same sensation at the second bend. By the fourth or fifth bend I began to understand; in the meantime, I had noticed that through the entire bend Tazio did not lift his foot from the accelerator, and that, in fact, it was flat on the floor. As bend followed bend, I discovered his secret. Nuvolari entered the bend somewhat earlier than my driver's instinct would have told me to. But he went into the bend in an unusual way: with one movement he aimed the nose of the car at the inside edge, just where the curve itself started. His foot was flat down, and he had obviously changed down to the right gear before going through this fearsome rigmarole. In this way he put the car into a four-wheel drift, making the most of the thrust of the centrifugal force and keeping it on the road with the traction of the driving wheels. Throughout the bend the car shaved the inside edge, and when the bend turned into the straight the car was in the normal position for accelerating down it, with no need for any corrections."

    I must admit getting a big laugh out of this thread.

    I don't think Sumflow was asking a question. He was simply stating what he has (slowly) learned.

    Sumflow: set all your speaks to small, your filter point to 80 Hz on your receiver, your LFE level to -3 on your receiver, and run one RCA cable from the sub out on the receiver to the LFE (unfiltered) port on the sub. Adjust bass volume AT the sub to your tastes.

    Don't ask why anymore. Just do it. This is sound advice and you will not be missing any bass or double filtering and you will reap the benefits of better mids and highs and a cooler running receiver amp and less speaker wire running all over creation.

    Maybe he's like that guy in the movie "Memento" who got whacked on the head and thereafter couldn't form new memories. The guy in the movie used to tatoo important info all over his body (hint, hint). ;)
