Wiring my RT1000i's sub woofer

Say I have a question about wiring my RT1000i's . Right now I have them wired I would say normal .Speaker cable to the binding posts with the jumper plates attached. I though after reading and rereading the instructions that if I ran LFE to the line level input (for sub) or sub woofer. It would work with the binding post jumpers removed. Well no Bass out of sub. I thought it would run like a sub woofer. Well I missed something or ??????
I know I can get deeper bass out of them, because right now they are being cut off at the sub woofer crossover frequency.
If anyone can help ...................please

ok I understand what you are saying . However I disconnected everything. Except the towers, trying to get the towers subs to work like a regular sub. I ran the LFE output from receiver to the RCA sub input, with the jumper plates removed and the main speaker cable hooked up to the upper binding posts. No Bass output. Disconnected the RCA input cable, put jumper plates back in place and bass output. Not to say I would run them like this I was trying it as a optional hook up to hear if I might like the way it sounds. ????????? Shouldn't the towers subs work like a regular sub??????
confuessed:rolleyes:
Unconnect everything from your RT1000s. Run speaker wire from your receivers speaker out A and B to the 1000s. Make sure the jumper is in and they are plugged in. Set the sub volumn to around 1 Oclock and enjoy. The sub will act like it should , just use the volumn control on the sub for the amount of bass you desire.
That is the way they should be set up. If you want more bass get a dedicated sub.

Setting the sub at 1 oclock is quit high, you want to sub to blend in perfectly with the rest of the speaker, not overpower it.Iset mine at 9 oclock and the hit hard and blend quit well.
A good sub to go with these speaker's is the psw450.

the real problem is that I'm using a Sony receiver! The bass management is not very flexable. Limits options. Can't run mains at full range, and no pre-amp outs. I am deciding on a new Receiver. Looks like Denon. But I have made final decission yet.
Thanks for all the input.
bbubba if you get a new receiver make sure it haves all of the pre outs thats one of the most importain features i think you can get.
