A single cable without a splitter would generally work fine into one of the outputs, some subs one of the inputs is an "LFE" input; all LFE mode does is take the low pass filter out of the way but you can just dial the low pass filter up to max value for same effect.

Come out of the purple connection on the back of your receiver and go into the left or right input on the back of your subwoofer, then set the subwoofer to LFE.

Set the crossover level for the subwoofer output in your receiver as desired.

You do not need to split the connection into your subwoofer at all. Just the one cable connection between the receiver and subwoofer is enough.

Did you read the article I linked?

i will thanks
so i connect only one connector from the the split one set to lfe i see if phase at 180 or 0 is better

You only need a single cable; if you already have a splitter cable use one or both. Some units get a bit more gain when both inputs are used.
