LFE LEVEL

[JOHN FICKEL]

What would happen if one did not use the LFE on the sub ? But use the non LFE jack on the sub and set the crossover on the back of the sub to the same frequency as your bass management ? So if 80hz is your crossover frequency in your receiver, and you set the crossover on the back of the sub to 80 wouldn't the sub still be playing the same frequencies ? Not using the LFE jack on the sub . When your using LFE on your sub, can't the sub play as high as 120 ? Why would I want my sub to play to 120? Please shed some light on this

Try it and report back to us.

Wayne just gave you a very detailed explanation of what's going on, but I still don't think you can grasp the concept.

If you set the two the same you will double filter and create a gap between your sub and speakers. The reason for the LFE input is so that you can use the receiver's x-over. The purpose of the non-LFE input is for when you do NOT have a x-over on the source side (some 2ch systems for example). With a sub that does not have a LFE input, you always set the sub's x-over to the highest point.
