Hey guys, this is a pretty simple question but it's tough to search the forum for "LFE", so here you go:

When hooking up a PSW110, is it better to use the LFE in, or the L and R line-in jacks? I've got an L and R line-out on my AVR. Should I run two cables from one to the other (left and right)?

    It depends on your application.

    If you are using an AVR that does bass management (ie: internal crossover) use the LFE

    If you want to use the crossover in the sub itself, use the L/R inputs.

    Is the crossover in the AVR going to be better? (It's an Onkyo TX-SR607.)

    I prefer to run my speakers as large, and no sub, to eliminate any AVR filtering. I use the front pre-out L+R to run the sub, PSW1000. Works great, your results may differ.
