My Amp has a LFE Subwoofer Out but My Sb has Left and right Inputs

Jul 16, 2007 3 Replies

Hello All, Need to find the best possible way to connect my Home theater Amp that has only one cable LFE or Subwoofer Out... to a Sub Woofer that has only a Left and Right Channel input. I did have it connected from my main Left/ Right outputs to left right inputs of my Sub.... but for some reason I dont' get the rich deep sound from Sub... so I was wondering if there's a way to make a cable to connect the LFE Output to connect to Left and Right Inputs on Sub... Or should I just get a Subwoofer that has a single LFE Input... if so can someone could recommend one thats has a deep rich sound but not to expensive gladly appreciate it... I know I know I'm looking for a miracle.



Thanks Marco

OK, a couple of things;

(folks, correct me where I'm wrong)

- the LFE is just SIGNAL, it isn't amplified, is it? You'll need to supply a source of power to SUB Out signals. (OK, wait, your Sub is likely a powered sub, isn't it?)

- Use an RCA 'y-splitter' w/ a single in and two outs, plug the two ends into the L and R of your amp/sub combo.

I had similar problem recently with a single SUB Out and a dual voice coil sub w/ an amp in the middle.
