Whats the easiest way to hook up a subwoofer for home theater?
Connecting your receiver’s subwoofer output to your subwoofer’s LFE input is the easiest way. The LFE input is a line-level (preamp) connection that bypasses the subwoofer’s built-in crossover filter. Opinions certainly differ bass management is, at times, tweaky stuff, and often it just comes down to personal preference. But a connection to your powered sub’s LFE input should provide your DVDs with sufficient roar and rumble. Unfortunately, not all powered subs have an LFE input.
