Home theater newbie here so please bare with me :o I recently ordered a Klipsch RW-12D subwoofer after hearing it demo'd at best buy's magnolia theater, I was looking at some pictures of it tonight and noticed the inputs on the subwoofer consist of a Left and Right rca jack , My receiver only has a single RCA jack output for a subwoofer ,does this mean I have to run a Y cable to the sub or can one wire still be used?

Also the RW-12D has an adjustable crossover which can also be defeated, since my receiver has subwoofer crossover adjustments do I want to disable the sub's crossover or match the settings between the two?

Thanks in advance!

It has left and right jacks, but when using the LFE (single sub output) you only use one (the left). You do not use a Y adapter.

Defeat the subs crossover if you have it set on the receiver, no need for both.

Sounds good, Thanks.

After skimming through this forum it seems the Klipsch subs arent very popular, did I make a mistake? I could always get a refund if I dont like it ..I loved what I heard when it was demod but personally ive never heard any of the popular subs mentioned in this forum (SVS / HSU etc.) The room ill be using the sub in is only 12 x 10.

The sub arrives tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.

The frequency response on the RW-12D is 24hz - 120hz , does this mean it starts to fall off at 24hz or is 24hz the lowest it will go period?

EDIT: The main use of my audio setup is Movies and Video games (PS3 / Xbox 360).
