CONNECTING YOUR
ENERGY SUBWOOFER
CAUTION: All power should be turned off to your
system before any connections are made. Careful
attention should be taken to ensure that all
electronic components are not connected to an AC
source. Not doing so could result in potential
damage to the system.
METHOD 1 – RCA – SUB IN FOR HOME
THEATER OR LFE APPLICATIONS
1
On the rear of the receiver/pre-amp there should
be a single RCA type jack marked "Subwoofer/Pre-
Amp Out". Connect a single RCA cable from that
i
jack to the
LINE IN/SUB IN on the rear of the
subwoofer. A standard male to male RCA cable is
needed.
2
After connecting the single
connection, plug your ENERGY subwoofer into an
AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of
your receiver. After plugging in the unit, switch the
Main Power to On.

FINAL SYSTEM
ADJUSTMENTS
1
After having turned on the main power switch and
having broken-in the speaker, select the correct
e
position for the
Auto depending on your system. The Auto selection
will leave the unit in a self-sensing mode, such that
should the unit sense an audio signal it will turn
itself on and then shut down after several minutes
without signal, while in the On position the
subwoofer always remains on. Should the system
not be used for an extensive period of time, it is
recommended that the subwoofer be unplugged
from the AC.

Adjust the
VOLUME LEVEL of your ENERGY
subwoofer so that the volume of your subwoofer
matches the overall system volume. This ensures a
smooth transition between the low and high
frequencies of your system.
u
3
Adjust the
LOW-PASS FILTER on your ENERGY
subwoofer so that the frequency range of the
subwoofer blends well with that of the front
speakers. Setting the crossover too low will create
a gap between the frequency response of the front
speakers and that of the subwoofer, while setting
the crossover frequency too high will create a
doubling of certain frequencies, making the music
sound boomy. When using small satellite speakers,
the appropriate crossover frequency should be
POWER MODE, either On or
