To connect the Klipsch Jamo S 808 SUB to your audio system, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall outlet before making any connections.

2. Locate the "LINE IN" connection on the subwoofer. Most surround receivers and pre-amplifiers have a line level subwoofer output labeled Subwoofer Pre-Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. If your audio system has this output, connect one end of a subwoofer cable to it.

3. Connect the other end of the subwoofer cable to the subwoofer's line input labeled LEFT/LFE.

4. Set the subwoofer volume level control in your receiver to the "half way" or "0 dB" position.

5. Increase the volume (or gain) of the subwoofer until its volume level matches the output of your main speakers. This can be done using the volume control on your system's main amplifier or pre-amplifier.

6. Adjust the crossover point on the subwoofer. If your receiver has a crossover point setting, set it according to the size of your main left/right speakers. For larger floorstanding speakers, set the crossover point between 50Hz-90Hz. For small bookshelf or satellite speakers, set the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. If your receiver does not have a crossover point setting, adjust the Lowpass Filter xxxx on the subwoofer within the same recommended settings.

7. Use the "PHASE" control to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to your main speakers. Select the position, either 0° or 180°, in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening position.

8. Set the "POWER" switch to the "AUTO" position for automatic turn-on and standby mode. In the "AUTO" position, the subwoofer will automatically turn on when it senses a signal and go into standby mode after 15-20 minutes with no signal. You can also set it to the "ON" position to keep the subwoofer always on, or the "OFF" position to manually turn it off.
