Subwoofer cable question


I want to run a Rel sub from my integrated amps "pre out" and the sub has only 1 "low level" and  the "lfe" input. Do I need an adapter from stereo to mono or do the low level and lfe inputs on the sub act together as left and right input?

Thanks guys for all the info. I can't afford 2 subs at this time. I was really just trying to find out how rel subs are connected. I understand that now and will try the default setup and see how it goes. If I reach a point where I can afford a second sub I will revisit this issue but for now there is no point. Opinions on REL vs SVS?

"Think I'm getting confused again"

If you chose REL, the instructions suggest using the suppied cable as instructed-speaker taps.

"Opinions on REL vs SVS?" Go back to being confused, if you're hoping for a definitve answer here. Both will be fine, but that's just my opinion.

 

 

Don't confuse the LFE with the .1/LFE. One is for low level 2 channel connection and the other is for home theater. I didn't have much success using the Neutrik Speakon connection; mine sound better with the low level RCA connection.

Guys. The question was how to cooect a Rel sub. It doesn’t deserve a treatise on the inner working of the bass signal. It’s not necessarily wrong. But the op has noted, it is confusing.

On a positive note, it wasn't snarky or mean spirited. So thanks

exactly - it's about helping the op, not about geezers boosting their self esteem... let’s just help the poster OK?
