- A good subwoofer should disappear into the room, integrating with your music and movies instead of sticking out and being overly powerful. With this video you'll learn how to place a sub in your room and adjust the settings to blend seamlessly into your system for a better listening experience. We also discuss the different hookup methods you can use to connect your subwoofer to a receiver or processor.

This wasn't even the video I was looking for but I watched it anyways, because this guy deserves all my time.
I've been setting up systems for decades, and I still learned something from this video. Much appreciated!
This is absolutely the best Subwoofer management Tutorial.
Thanks a lot, really helped me :)
Please please please help me set up my Bose Acoustimass!!
My God, someone who REALLY knows what theyre on about for once. This guy even knows about room eigitones. Not that I expected less from Martin-Logan.
You must mean eigentones
I have watched a bunch of these videos.this is in my opinion of the hours of subwoofer tip videos i have watched is the best.nice job
Thank you so much for presenting a tutorial-worthy video that actually goes into the detail I needed to hear on the phase and low pass filters settings! I wish I found this first so I didn't have to suffer everyone else on YT's dumb-foundedly useless speaker system set up videos where they go over nothing! Thank God for you!
This is THE best instructional video EVER about how to set up your audio system. And the funniest one. These people know what they are talking about. These guys are even more fanatic about audio than I am ! ;-) I'm watching all of these Martin Logan videos because I am seriously thinking about buying a set. Listen to them once and you're hooked...! I love their philosophy and the way they approach audio.
It took me an hour to find this tutorial and worth every minute, just wish it would come up first. I wanted to know how to set up a Subwoofer and all the other vids told me how to plug it ix and what to put the dials on. I did not want instructions for dummies. I wanted to know what all the buttons and nobs were for and you did than great, NO you did that the best. Thank you for a detailed PLAN English explanation on what they all do and how to adjust them. As a TH-cam contributor my self doing How To Videos I know how hard it is to do what you did. I thought I was great at it but I learned a few things from you on the creative side also. Hope you keep producing videos like this.
Hands down the most helpful bass/sub video I’ve come across. And this has been my mission for 4 days. Good job.
What a great video. Simple and to the point
Probably the most informative to this subject. And info on special cables used could be added along
this has helped me out so much. very easy and clearly put across.. thanks guys!!
Very well done video!great job! you kept it simple and easy to understand. Thank you!
This is just what I needed. Thank you.
after watching a few times it actually helped a lot! thanks
Great Video
Do you have a video on installing 2 subwoofers and how to set them up properly?
Thank you, Very helpful and furthered my understanding of LFE.
Finally understand what sub crawl actually means. I've always seen idiots on TH-cam do that thinking we're just supposed to know that the sub should be placed in the seating position. They never mention that and yet crawl around the floor like a Neantherthal and I always what the hell they're doing.
Johnny Blaze a Crutchfield rep told me about the crawl method....but it is useless if you run a calibration tool that dials in the sound based on subwoofer placements
This is the best subwoofer set up tutorial I have watched to date.
Clear explanations of every steps and settings.
Thanks a lot to Martin Logan!
Unfortunately, I cannot get electrostatic speakers at my place.
My condo living room is not configured for this kind of speakers.
But I will certainly look at the Martin Logan electrodynamic speakers from now on! 👍
i agree this the best video i found the rest of the youtubers dont show the reciever and subwoofer together
Finally a education video that helps the beginner audiophile hobbyist.
Нужен переводчик
Thank you so much for your help. It made all the difference 👍
it will be more easy if we use our mind .....but this video push us to the other side
i love martin logan products so much
6:29 The moment that it actually smells good .
I dont know about you guys but I love an audience! No matter what im doing and who im doing it with, my blinds stay open!!!
I have a Subwoofer that doesn't have crossover nob. Only a high or low cut switch (stereo also doesn't have crossover settings). Now I now that having 3 cables L, R and LFE and using the setting both is perfect for my tiny speaker with sub setup. Thanks 👍 I am now playing with the volume nob etc.
just got my subwoofer today so happy
THANKS VERY MUCH MAN!!! YOU'VE BEEN SO HELPFUL
Some great information was shared thanks 😊
Great video, we could use a lot more like it
Amazingly helpful video, thank you!
i just buyed a logitech z906 great sound, very easy set up, great for gaming
Very clear. Thanks.
Excellent video, thank you.
Damn, I have never messed with Home Theater Systems or Music set-ups and this is really complicated lol. Still a really informative and handy video for when I eventually get a sub-woofer.
Thanks, I have a much better understanding if it now :)
I think it's time to spend the next half hour setting up my system again and pissing my neighbours off :)
Idk about y'all but when I install my stereo along with my 2 subs and my receiver and amplifier with my in wall speakers also connecting my tv screen connected to it so I can play my 360 I am having one of my friends do it for me. He knows exactly what he is doing. He does this stuff all the time.
Still the best tutorial in 2024
Thanks for practical information
I followed all the steps, but had my wife do the crawling, while she's naked... Thanks for this great guide...
Will you mind sharing the video with us??
Way to go Eli....
@Eli
I'm saying nothing! Lol
🙌🏻
🤔😄😄😄
This video I been looking for my setup. Lfe =good music.
Spoken with authority.
thanks i was really confused until now
Great info thanks!
Pro tutorial. Thank You
nice input man
thanks for the info regarding the left and right channels for music. i just used the single lfe cable from the amp, will be buying some extra cables now to connect the left and rights so i can enjoy music better.
on my subwoofer only 2 inputs L/R. and it says if I want to connect LFE use left (white input) so what to do if I want both?
+Sigitas Ziurys it's a tannoy subwoofer sfx 5,1
+Sigitas Ziurys got it! there is some more speaker level inputs, didn't notice them
i was messin with you, and since the video was filmed that makes it past tense, so its wore.
Thanks for your video!
thank you for your help
i remember the good old days when you just used the high level inputs connected to the main outs with speaker cables
plenty of people who buy stereo amps for music still do this
Good info, cheers
Just got a klipsch sw115 15" sub. Martin Logan Areius mains. Sub setup has taken about 2 weeks so far. I feel the need to tweek it every day.
That is because that sub is not very good for music. With all subs placement, crossover setting and gain settings are critical. The better subs are so much easier to dial in. I would recommend running the Martin Logan speakers full range and adjust subwoofer starting with a low crossover of 50 or less and with a low volume setting and gradually increase volume a little at a time.
Very helpful
Thanks
Fantastic video great help,
Really easy to understand video with some great information, thanks guys :)
Great video, thanks you so much! A bit off topic but I have the Dynamo 700W and just noticed that when it is in stand by mode (Red light on) the Blue light continues to flash. Is that normal? I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere and ran across this vid, hope you don't mind the off topic question.
Wow that’s so helpful
great video...thanks alot
Great value comments.
highly recommend procella audio v21 (dual 21 inch subs in a box )
Very funny video but above all was very instructive. Great quality production too. Kudos!
I just find out I have a lot of work to do with setting my sub the way it should be.
Everyone forget about replying to this video and instantly give E Barbie props for his comment!
Un gran video, GRacias, se ruega hablar un poco mas despacio, para los que no somos anglosajones, saludos, desde ESpaña,
Is there a PhD program in electronics that I missed to be able to use today's home theater? I remembered the milk and eggs and forgot the damn PhD.
So I could just use the audio out with the two rca connections and plug them into the left and right on the subwoofer?
I didn't find much help on this video, but i'm glad people are making videos like this. Now, i can't get my subwoofer to work with my receiver (sony str dh500). The subwoofer is a JAMO SW 1008. The sub has audio in right & left/mono/LFE and audio out left and right. I've tried the subwoofer/LFE connection, nothing. I've tried audio out on the receiver and audio in on the sub, nothing. For now, i'm trying to figure out how to do this, but if you can help me, please answer, so i can get this working. :)
Janne Korpela check trim level on your amplifier go to test tone and see if you can adjust,I suffered same kind of thing on DENON x4200 worked fine for movies but for music no good the trim level was -11db hence no bass for music. hope this helped if you still have your amp or anyone else having this kind of problem try it
You've probably already solved this issue from two years ago, but I would start by getting rid of the Sony receiver and never consider owning another a or v device of that brand, unless you're ready to make a marriage-status commitment to Sony and do promise to have and to hold only Sony other components in your system until death do you part while the nature of the infinitesimal corporate beast lives indefinitely. Not because I dislike their products, but Sony has for awhile already been like Apple is now- monopolistic greed mongers whom just do not play well with others. Their unspoken exclusivity is just not a realistic approach to the world of audio and video. Most people have systems consisting of Kenwood this, with an Onkyo that. I personally don't like feeling limited to a brand when I'm adding to a system. Universality is paramount between devices and if all brands veer in the direction of Apple or Sony, (not to throw stones) just as examples, well what a controlled and contrived, disgustingly programmed society of robots this nation would be. Yuck. The U.S. were formed because the people wanted their own choices in life. Don't let "them" chip away at our freedom right under our noses with small things like this because if we fail to notice and ignore, the de-evolution of our society as the beast gradually but eventually finds its way into having control over bigger things over us, then it very well could be that one day when it's too late you realize you are affected when you get locked out of your own home in an emergency and are unable to get in.
With a two subwoofers system, do both subs need to have the phase set to normal, or could one be set to reverse? An audio signal is alternating current so I'm wondering if a 2 sub system can cover the entire sine wave of a signal and get a bigger punch!
Nice what to listen for approach
Gurus of the Industry..
Sure, its up to you if you really want to :)
Muito Bom! Parabéns!

Oh.... that was why.... Thank you!
thank you
After watching this I returned my subwoofer....
This subwoofer can connect via wiresly to tv or others receivers? I now the DYNAMO 1000 watts has wiresly connection
what if i have 2 subwoofers could i hook them both up like 1 through lfe and 1 through RCA?
Nice info
is it possible to use a+b speaker selection for sub connection... like A for front speakers and B out put to subwoofer high level or line in part of sub.. and play the amp both a+b speaker out puts same time.. is it okey this way.. any recommendation ?
I have a problem where playing music the sub sounds very good. but during playback of a movie sometimes the sound clips and you can hear the voice coil hit the magnet. I've tried all kinds of settings of the crossover in the receiver and the sub. it helps the most if I turn the LPF of the LFE to off in the crossover settings of the receiver. if I leave it set to any of the 80-120hz settings it hits the magnet really hard. something isn't right. I didn't have this problem with my old sony receiver. I have an Onkyo TX-NR686.
Thanks for the video. I have Onkyo TX-SR494 AV Receiver and need amp to power two Acoustic Audio HDS10 in Wall 10" subs. Can you recommend a sub amp to match the AV R around 80 watts at 8 ohms each channel? Thanks.
I use the LFE input. My question is, what wire is better coaxial, or rca ?
I have 4 300 watt rms jbl subwoofer for 11 channel dolby atmos....now all subwoofers installed in front ....its best effect .can i install two subwoofer on back ...?
Good video
My main speakers doesnt have "Low frequency extention" on the spec sheet. What do I do?
with the LFE connection will i be able to listen stereo music in 2.1 mode? or it is only for 5.1 sources?
Nice video! I am obsessed with people who prefer roof shocking bass, I respect their preference. However, a real subwoofer is a speaker that complements the whole system, playing frequencies that the main speakers are unable to handle, so to have a flatter frequency response. At 40Hz, the frequency response should be +0, not +10
down-firing model for nearfield close to listener , front-firing model for home theater in front of the listener , right ?
Hi
Can you helpe me... what reciver i need for a bash 300s...thx
I have a Pioneer VSX 03THX and I cannot figure how to get sound from the subwoofer. Help ! Thank you!!
What no summed mono option? ;-) nice home guide thank you.
What does he mean by compromise for music when using just the LFE cable?
Should I put my sub on LFE for movies and music I have set for to cut off at about a hundred and ten Hertz right now
Hi, what if the subwoofer has 2 LFE(L+R) inputs, do you use 1-to-2 RCA cable or just use 1-to-1 cable and plug it into either L or R terminal of the subwoofer LFE terminals? Thanks
Lfe if split into the rca will that put music bass through
So I can use the pre outs on my integrated to connect a subwoofer?? With everything sounding like it should??
Is it possible to hook up the subs and they will still bump or make the same type of noise.
Hi Im having Harmon/Kardon AVR 171 and JBL ES150/230. Can I know what will be the best setting?
