Can anybody tell me the best way to hook up my sub?

[infieldfly32]

I just purchased a subwoofer to complete my home theater system. It is a niles sw 10. It has three audio in inputs and three audio outs. Each one has left, right and LFE. It also has speaker in and speaker out, left and right post type which says class 2 wiring, whatever that means. My system is as follows: HK avr 3700, cambridge audio s30's as my mains, cambridge audio s50 center, and s20's for surrounds. Have never had a sub and I know there are multiple ways to hook it up. I am about 50/50 movies music. My blue ray player is a panny bdt 320 and tv is a panny GT 30, if this matters. Any advice on the best way to run this?

Thanks,
Scott

Just connect the Sub out from the HK to LFE in on the Niles sub. Rerun EzSet so the HK knows that a sub is connected.

Do I need to run a splitter so I have both right and left LFE's hooked up?

There is no left and right, LFE is MONO.

That's right. Sorry, I was looking at the audio out LFE. Thank you for your help.

On the sub side or the receiver side? If the receiver has two sub outputs, they will both provide the same signal. On the sub side, if it has LFE and R&L, you should use the LFE input. If it has only R&L, they will both do the same thing no matter which you choose.
