JJ | I have a JBL PB-10 with connections to my Receiver (Sub Out). The sub has both L and R input. Would it be better to use a Y - connector and use both signals or just use 1 channel? If so or if not, why? Please explain in detail. Many Many Thanks, |

| i read somewhere that there is a 10 dB increase if a y cable is used to connect both L and R of the sub. That means more bass for the same signal. |

Ben | Yes, it would be better to use a Y-connector for your sub. That's what I did for my Velodyne HGS-12. Definitely an increase in bass and since mine uses the signal from the subwoofer cable to auto on itself, the Y-connector helped the subwoofer to auto on itself at a lower set volume from my pre-amp. Jansen is correct in his statement about an increase of 10 dBs. I have read articles stating the same with a range of 3-10 dB increase in bass. You can't go wrong adding a Y-connector to your sub. |

Taylor Unregistered guest | If it is a JBL, then one of the inputs (left, I believe), should be LFE (low frequency signals only) that comes directly from your receiver. Just connect the sub out to the LFE jack. I know that the JBL PB-12 works that way. |

I was looking for a place to order decent cabling at a reasonable price. |
