A:AnswerI have a Denon receiver so I don't know if the same answer would apply to Onkyo but here goes. Denon customer support told me that my front speakers had to be configured as "small" speakers because if I configured them as "large" the system would assume that they could handle all the heavy lifting in the bass. I reconfigured as "small" and the subwoofer started working. Hope that helps in your situation.
A:AnswerIf your receiver supports a SW LFE output you simply plug one end of the RCA cable to your receiver LFE output and the other end to the Klipsch SW "Left/LFE" jack. If your preamp/receiver supports both Left and Right SW outputs or if your preamp/receiver has Left and Right line outputs, connect both Left and Right outputs to the Klipsch Left and Right input jacks. Of course it would be possible to split the left and right preamp outputs to two subwoofers but that seems like overkill. Simple answer to your question is yes, it supports LFE connection.
A:AnswerI have this on an Onkyo TX8260 receiver (which is 80 watts/channel, stereo). I am also driving Klipsch RP-8000F speakers with that. Klipsch speakers are, generally, pretty sensitive and don't need high power to drive them.
A:AnswerNever use any speaker as a table top. Sound happens through vibrations. Without vibrations we would not hear anything. In fact u might want to but extra feet to absorb the vibration for exact sounding punches. But the great thing about sound especially bass is that what ever you feel us the best sound is where you should place all speakers, tune, and enjoy. However you will get bass with knocking wood sound if you place things on top of a sub
A:AnswerHow is your RSW-12 working after being made 20 years ago? 625W and 2000W is something great isnt it?
Original answer your RSW-12 has LFE input but inputs are L and R so you will need and Y-splitter since your AVR will provide your only one output.
A:AnswerYes, It is compatible. This 12" subwoofer shakes my 28x20 living room. Surely it will shake a basement. Maybe even better with the acoustics in a basement.
A:AnswerDo you happen to have subwoofer channel settings on the receiver itself also? I had the problem you did originally, because I had my Denon receiver at +3 on the sub channel and the gain on the sub itself was at about 1/3. Was too much.
A:AnswerIt depends on your receiver. You can adjust the subwoofer volume via the receiver remote and the gain via the knob on the back of the subwoofer.
Note: Gain and volume are not the same thing. While adjusting them can result in similar results(increase or decrease in volume) the gain control functions differently. A volume control adjusts the output levels. A gain control adjust the output levels *relative* to the input levels. That is an important distinction.
A:AnswerNo. Just plug it into "L". All of the directional information is in the higher frequencies and the sub's crossover will eliminate them anyway. There's no real directional information in the bass frequencies because humans can't localize low frequencies. So even when you plug it into the "L" only, when the tyrannosaurus (did I spell that right?) walks from left to right through your living room, it will sound correct. This is exactly how mine is wired and it sounds perfect.
A:AnswerYes, but it doesn't shut off immediately as soon as you turn off your receiver. I think it takes a few minutes. Not entirely sure on the time, but it will turn itself off if you have it set to auto.
