Thanks! I appreciate your subscription and comment. I try to explain things in an everyday manner and it means a lot when someone says they understand and appreciate my efforts!
You've been saving my ass with these videos man I'm setting up my first sound system and you're making it go very smoothly. Thanks for the great explanation!
Thank you so much for explaining about the subwoofer, I've been watching so many videos on RUclips about this subject, although you covered everything I needed to know. Brief & to the point. Subscribed! 👌
Just went through so many videos trying to find the answer to my question and yours was the first one that I saw that actually explained everything so clearly !! Thank you so much !!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is the clearest explanation of crossover, phase etc I've ever heard. You've done a real service to us tech-challenged types.
great job, this guy knows his stuff and takes the confusion out with a very straightforward approach. i was confused about using a Y-cable to L/R jacks on the back of the subwoofer but now it seems ....correct me if i'm wrong.....i can go with a basic single RCA jack into either the left OR the right input jack and it makes no difference.
Take a pat on the back.....most of the people who do Home Video explanations are more interested in showing off how much they know, than helping the beginner get his system working. This video got me further into success than all the others I wasted my time with. Keep it up.
What is the cord that I would use to hook my Yamaha 5730 to my Yamaha SW010 please. I bought an RCA cable but the plug was too large for the input on the SW
one of best video i watched about setting crossover and setting all speakers as small even though u hv large floor stading spekaers.. the technical part of not drawing much power out of ur amplifier is on point as the sub has its own amp built in.. awesome thanks man
Great video. Took me weeks of confusion and and messing around slow and painfully to learn all this stuffm..Wish i had seen this video the day I put my system togther
Just came across your channel after looking for reviews on emotiva’s subs se12 se8 and started checking some of your content. Love how simple and to the point you explain everything. A+++++ Btw just bought 2 emotiva se-8 for my living room, completing my set up of a 3.2 Yamaha tsr-400 Emotiva t-zero towers Emotiva c-1 center 2 Emotiva se-8
Good video. Couple criticisms: 1. Audio was too low ... even missing at times. 2. You didn't show where to actually connect the RCA into the sub... just said, "connect it here "... and never showed where it was connected. 3. Main + LFE means different thins w diff companies... a caution should have been thrown there. Otherwise, excellent presentation.
@@mikehernandez5114 use a 12v to 240v convertor. From your cigarette lighter socket.. especially if you've a spare one in the boot / hatch of your car. The best option would be buy a car subwoofer such as a wedge type.. JBL or similar.. then plug that in from the headunit.
Please I want to know more about using the RCA splitter for a multiple subs.... Coz I have tried it with my two subs (Onkyo and Sony)but they don't sound very well like using only one sub
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist okay cool thanks. I ended up just getting a y splitter. But I have learned so much through your videos already! If I'm going to be using a projector, when I hang it on the ceiling, do I just need an HDMI running from the receiver to the projector? That will handle all audio and video?
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist , couldn't you just use the y adapter for 1 pre-out on back of receiver to L/R on Subwoofer. Get the male plugs on other end instead of female. Or would it drowned it out? Assuming that booms would only play on right side. Left side would be nothing or am I over thinking this?
either works fine as a sub only carries a mono signal.. You can connect another sub into the L one if you want.. With another phono cable.. or a Y SPLITTER into each if you intend to run 4 subwoofers? Running 4 subs is a good idea.. 2 in the front sound stage (forward facing). Then 2 smaller downfiring subs in each corner behing the listening position. To connect those up you use shorter subwoofer phono cables between the subwoofers on the rear. In short one of the front subs has a phono sub cable connected to the receiver then a longer sub cable from the front R sub to the sub R side in the rear. Then do the same with the L side. Then run a sub cable between the 2 rear subwoofers to complete the curcuit.
Why wouldn't it make sense that there are 2 inputs both wire and RCA clearly labeled (Left) And (Right) Red and white that its a dual voice coil sub woofer? On my 4 subs 2 of them have L and R inputs and I have tested with single and dual connections and when both are hooked up it gains decibels. Common sense.?
Thanks for your video .For Yamaha receivers YPAO sub level calibration it’s recommended that level post calibration should be around zero to 3 . after reviewing sub level in first calibration You can tweak sub volume by on second calibration to fall into the 0 to 3 range.
Finally a video on using multiple subs that is actual informative and not filmed with a smudged cell phone camera. One question...one of my subs uses speaker wire and the other uses the connection you showed (the one you can get as a "Y" splitter), I already have one connected but I'm not sure how to connect the one that uses speaker wire. Any suggestions? I have a Yamaha RX-V679BL
I found this on Amazon and it could work but I haven't tried it. You connect the RCA end to your receiver and the other end to the sub. Hope this helps!Full disclosure this is an affiliate link so I will get a small commission if you put this cable. amzn.to/2QGkZHC
Thanks for the informative video. My Onkyo TX-NR686 does not have a large or small speaker option, just says "full band, or set crossover depending on speaker size". All my low signals go to the mains and center, and almost none to my sub. My Fluance DB 12's do not have an lfe, just line in. Have the crossover on sub all the way up, phase on "regular" and even with volume 3/4 up, almost no bass. The cable is plugged into subwoofer pre out on AVR, and into line in on sub with a Monoprice sub cable. Any ideas what the problem could be? Thanks.
When you run the Onkyo speaker calibration do you hear audio from the sub when it sends a test sound to th sub? If not you may not be getting audio to the sub, first I’d switch cables then maybe inputs on the sub if you have multiple inputs, then try the same on the Onkyo if you have multiple sub outputs. If you are getting sound during auto calibration you could also try setting your speakers crossover setting to 80Hz instead of “Full band”. That will send more bass signal to the sub.
Assuming a person is using identical subs, the settings for multiple subs should be the same. The one exception is possibly volume but otherwise there the same. The purpose of multiple subs is to get even bass response throughout the room regardless of seating position. With a single sub there can be dips in the response due room geometry, furniture placement, etc. So properly placing multiple subs can even out the room modes and allow multiple seating positions to have the same level of enjoyment. Hopefully this answers the question.
Any advice for how to eat up heights on a vaulted ceiling? Undecided on weather or not to use in ceiling speakers or just mountable. Mountable would be preferable because I have a T&G wood ceiling but I want the best sound possible 🤷♂️
Great video. I have 2 klipsch subwoofers. I used 2 subwoofer cables. One for each subwoofer. Should I not do that?? Should I get the Y cable and connect the second subwoofer that way?
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist 1 last thing when you have time chick out the Definitive Technology CS9060 Center Channel. I want it but do i still need a Receiver or can i just run it with my TV?
Thanks so much for the great video! One thing I'm a bit confused on is if you set your crossover in your receiver to 80, what do you actually physically set the knob to on the subwoofer itself to ensure it doesn't interfere with what you said in the receiver settings? Thanks in advance!
Set it above what ever setting you choose. For example if your receiver is set at 80Hz then set the subwoofer at 100hz that way you know the subwoofer is playing everything the receiver is sending.

2:47 you make it sound like adjusting the lowpass on the sub will adjust the highpass on your speakers. it doesn't of course
Probably silly question but why did you choose the "R" input on the subwoofer and not "L"? Does it matter which one you choose?
It doesn’t matter, either should work just fine.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist okay cool thanks. I ended up just getting a y splitter. But I have learned so much through your videos already! If I'm going to be using a projector, when I hang it on the ceiling, do I just need an HDMI running from the receiver to the projector? That will handle all audio and video?
Hello, at the back of your sub is L/R connection but I saw you connecting on the R side. What makes of the L.??
Either one works just fine. The subwoofer out on most receivers send all the relevant sub signal down 1 unbalanced subwoofer cable.
Wow! Learned sum thing new
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist , couldn't you just use the y adapter for 1 pre-out on back of receiver to L/R on Subwoofer. Get the male plugs on other end instead of female. Or would it drowned it out? Assuming that booms would only play on right side. Left side would be nothing or am I over thinking this?

This sub didn't have a hypass rca output so if hooked to a preamp output the main speakers will still be playing full range?

I really want a review about differences about put two subwoofers in front with two in front and back. Settings, positioning, sound quality...
Assuming a person is using identical subs, the settings for multiple subs should be the same. The one exception is possibly volume but otherwise there the same. The purpose of multiple subs is to get even bass response throughout the room regardless of seating position. With a single sub there can be dips in the response due room geometry, furniture placement, etc. So properly placing multiple subs can even out the room modes and allow multiple seating positions to have the same level of enjoyment.
