IMPORTANT NOTE: Some manufacturers preset their receivers with the Sub-Out channel signal at a minimum level. It is very important to verify that your receiver Sub-Out channel is set to the same output level, or higher, as your front right and left channels. Refer to your receiver manual for the individual channel level adjustment procedure.

(B) SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT Terminals Connect these input terminals to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier or receiver.

S p e a k e r L e v e l O u t p u t When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be fed the same input signal as the subwoofer. This removes the lower bass from your satellites, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies and giving your receiver’s amp more headroom (up to 50% more power).
P l a c e m e n t True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies, which are primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the subwoofers be placed on the same plane as the satellite speakers, room and system conditions often dictate otherwise. Keep in mind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of your listening room.
