Default cable help

You may also need a Y adapter (2 male, 1 female).
Connect one end of the sub cable to LFE out (sub out or sub pre-out) on the back of the receiver.
Connect the other end of the sub cable to the Left channel input (on some subs, the Right channel can also work) of the subwoofer. If you use a Y adapter (2 male, 1 female) and connect the subwoofer cable to both the Left and Right inputs on the back of the sub, you may get between 3db to 6db more output from the subwoofer. Refer to the footnote.


my subwoofer LFE IN WHITE AND RED BOTH PORT Available
now i still use one cable connected but still mono

if i get Y adapter (2 male, 1 female) so will be stereo ???? if both connected LFE IN WHITE AND RED BOTH PORT BOTH connected will be stereo

correct ????

With my set-up I connect the SUB WOOFER OUTPUT to the LEFT channel on my active sub woofer, using the LEFT and RIGHT connected to the receiver won't make any difference as far as I know as you're only connected one speaker, the .1. It's not going to make it Stereo. I think .2 set-ups are just two subwoofers outputting the same signal, using a both LEFT and RIGHT will just increase the volume slightly.

It's probably the increased volume that you're hearing. A receiver with a sub woofer output puts out everything in one stream. A sub woofer is basically one or more woofers, they don't output separate channels and most audio tracks don't feature more than one LFE channel, the reason the sub woofer has two inputs is for older analogue equipment where the left and right channel have separate sub woofer outputs.

You can use both inputs on the sub but the output will always be one channel.

computer speaker like 5.1 that one channel but stereo signal bass for music
computer speaker also can do mono signal like 3.5m jack to rca if i connect red only without connect white that mean = mono signal bass mono then i connect white+red both connected RCA that mean = stereo signal bass stereo music

my onkyo avr my subwoofer LFE IN white and red both got input
my subwoofer connected RED ONLY single cable i haven't try both connect because i dont have that cable i must get Y adapter (2 male, 1 female).
if i connect RED AND WHITE so can get stereo signal for bass stereo can get ???

If you're connecting your receiver to the sub woofer just use one cable to the LFE IN. If you're connecting your PC then you'd connect to the LINE IN. If your PC has separate sub woofer LINE OUTs then you'd use LINE IN L and R. If your PC has a single sub woofer LINE OUT then just use one LINE IN on the sub woofer. None of the three options will produce stereo from the sub woofer, but if your PC has left and right LINE OUTs for the sub woofer then each channels LFE signal will carry through to the sub.

What model equipment are you using?

You're connecting your Blu-ray player to your AVR? If you're watching movies then you'll only get one channel LFE, they only stream one channel and a subwoofer can generally only output one channel.

Make sure your AVR is set to BOTH for LFE channels and your left and right speakers are set to LARGE, that way you'll get bass through (in stereo) them and the lower frequencies will come through the subwoofer.

If you could give more details to your equipment used and what you want to use it for and how's it connected, it would help.

You are already getting stereo bass from the towers.

You subwoofer is mono. Regardless if you sent it 2 feeds(your AVR has preouts) or 1, it is mono.

Your. Subwoofer. Is. Mono. Period.

There. Is. Absolutely. No. Way. At. All. Ever. Again. EVER. To. Make. It. Stereo.

The. Only. Way. At. All. To. Get. STEREO SUBWOOFER. Is. To. Have. Two. Of. Them.

And. That. Two. Of. Them. Is. Still. Mono. Using. Subwoofer. Output.

Period. Period. Period. Period.

To. Get. Stereo. Subwoofers...

You. Need. Two. Subwoofers. Ran. From. Main. Left. And. Right. Pre out.

WHICH I ALREADY SAID

It's possible they're stereo because the smaller speakers don't have woofers (or large enough woofers) to handle LFE and bass.

The stereo bass is coming through your left and right channels.

What PC speakers are you using?

That's still a set-up with a mono sub woofer. The other Logitechs I've seen are as well.

Your AVR sends out bass to your speakers set to LARGE when your LFE option is set to BOTH, that gives you bass in stereo with the LEFT and RIGHT channels as well as other speakers set to LARGE (so the CENTRE and SURROUND LEFT and SURROUND RIGHT et cetra), the surround speakers usually have a limit to how low their frequencies can go, that's where the sub woofer comes in with the LFE channel. You sub woofer is one speaker, it's a mono speaker.

Everything you want your sub woofer to get is going to the LEFT and RIGHT channel, the woofer takes up the LFE slack that they can't get low enough to output.

You can plug a 2-in-1 lead into your sub woofer and get a bit extra, but that's it, it will still be MONO.

Do a test yourself, unplug the sub woofer and change the LFE settings to the LEFT and RIGHT speakers to SMALL, you'll see how much bass your speakers put out. Then add the sub back in.
