Most subwoofers have both a left & right input. It usually doesnt matter which one you use. Some people will buy a “Y adapter” or “splitter” so that a single cable can feed both subwoofer inputs.

Does direction of subwoofer matter?

Here is the short answer. For the best sound quality, the subwoofer should be placed with the speaker facing out to the room, and the port should be away from a wall. Bass waves travel in all directions, but its important to have the speaker facing your main listening area.

Is a subwoofer mono?

Sub-outputs are usually only 1 Phono RCA connector, as the signal is mono, also called the LFE channel, which makes up X. 1 in the naming of a 5.1 or 7.1 surround setup. If you want to connect a stereo amplifier with stereo pre-out to a subwoofer, we recommend that you use a normal stereo phono cable.

Where should I place my subwoofer?

Typically, you position a subwoofer along the front wall of the room. Moving all of the bass sounds to the subwoofer gives your front speakers the ability to focus on mid- and high-range frequencies. (The subwoofer can handle all the low-frequency bass sounds in a home theater.)

Do I really need a subwoofer cable?

Specifically, using a subwoofer cable will enhance the sound quality of low-frequency audio signals sent through your cable including bass signals. While a subwoofer cable has two RCA ends, it also has additional shielding added to it that can streamline the audio signal and support its transference to your subwoofer.

Is it better to have subs facing up or down?

Facing the subwoofer upward while in the trunk, gives you big bass without consuming a lot of space. For example, a subwoofer placed at the right corner of your trunk means louder results for the driver, but better bass response for the passengers.

Can you combine left and right channels?

Wiring Left and Right Channels Together You are not going to get any advantage from it. Both of the channels will fight each other. Your amplifier may get hot and cause damage. So it is not possible to connect both the channels together in this way.
