<font color='#000000'>Hey All, I have a Sony STR-DA4ES driving an Energy EPS-150 subwoofer, via the &quot;subwoofer out&quot; RCA jack @ the rear of the 4ES. The 4ES has loads of adjustments, but for the subwoofer setting I leave it @ 0db. The EPS 150 cranks out the low frequencies just fine. I have a Yamaha YST-SW200 subwoofer connected to the Energy EPS150 via a 15 foot RCA cable, from the EPS 150's &quot;low level output&quot; RCA jack. Using a digital multi-meter, and checking for voltage between the center pin and ground collar of the RCA cable @ the Yammy, the voltage is present and varies just as it does @ the EPS 150's RCA cable. Problem is, the output of the Yammy is next to nothing. No adjustments on the EPS 150 make any difference, except the actual &quot;subwoofer level&quot;, which if adjusted high enough to hear the Yammy, makes the EPS 150 so obnoxious you can hear/feel little else. The only adjustments the Yammy has are &quot;high cut&quot; and volume. Any ideas? I can't explain why I have 2 subs for one 15 foot square room with 12 foot ceilings, I just do. &nbsp;TIA, &nbsp; &nbsp;GEER</font>

<font color='#000000'>Hehe... 15 square feet would be a 3x5 room... <img src="http://www.audioholics.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'></font>

<font color='#000000'>Hey, So it is 15 foot L X 15 foot W = 225 Sq. Ft. Only a smart**s would feel the overwhelming need to point that out. You get the point of my question, yes? &nbsp;Or perhaps not... &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;GEER</font>

Not nice to slam the admin he may do nasty things to you.........


Use an RCA Y cable to tap off the subwoofer out from your sony. it will halve the signal strength so adjust your gain accordingly.

I have not yet seen a subwoofer that had a daisy chain ability other than the klipsch 8" sub you can run 16 of the things in one set. never bought one just saw the add for it.

And i run 3 subs myself for my ht system. 2 passive 12" and a dual 8" fairly small room but more than adequate. I love stereo subs.
