Subwoofer auto-on function not working

[spider_duggan]

Hey everyone,
I've got a new rig and have it set up pretty much as I want it. But the auto-on feature on the subwoofer is not working.

Here's the breakdown:
Klipsch RW-12 sub
see sig for other speakers, all are set to small and crossover at 60Hz. Using LFE coax in on sub and Pre-out on reciever. Have phase to 0 and crossover on sub to lowest setting, but it should be bypassed when using the LFE coax.

Reciever is the onkyo tx-sr602. Any suggestions?

Thanks for reading,
Dan
P.S. will post photos of rig in the next few days.

Sorry for the waste, I've found the answer at the klipsch forums.

Does anyone disagree with leaving a sub on all the time?

Leaving the subwoofer on all the time is usually fine.

When the auto-on doesn't "trigger"...you can also try lowering the gain/volume control of the subwoofer and raising the bass "level" control in the receiver simultaneously(to maintain proper overall bass levels). This will push more voltage to the input stage of the subwoofer amp.
