subwoofer on/off question
Hi!
I just bought and installed my first HT system.
I am noticing that my subwoofer only kicks in when the volume is turned up to a certain level. I guess this is normal, but I find that somewhat annoying because I would like to hear the low frequency effects at a reasonable (lower) volume level.
Setup :
- single RCA cable from the receiver pre out to the sub’s mono input
- crossover frequency button on the sub is all the way up
- crossover frequency on receiver set at 100 Hz
Is there a way to have the sub work permanently, i.e. at low volume? Would a better quality cable increase the sub’s sensitivity (my cable is somewhat cheap? Would using a Y cable to connect the sub make a difference?
Thanks in advance
