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?

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?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will look for an affordable rel and use the speakon cable as it saves me the cost of buying a relatively long ic cable and seams simple and straightforward. 

Good choice  @emiliop  You'll wonder why you waited so long after getting it set up.

Also, if you haven't seen this  thread, maybe you should. might give you some tips
