Re: db difference of LFE vs sub hooked via main

63.199.242.86

The reason it does not rattle is because the LFE channel (which stands for Low Frequency Effects) is the ONLY channel used for sub-sonic felt effects. Cranking your sub will just cause it to be overdriven and will not have even close to the same effect as using the LFE channel. The LFE channel is designed primarily for those jar to the bone effects when viewing DTS or DD. Not using the LFE, yet having a subwoofer connected to the main speakers does not have the same effect. setting the 5.1 to no sub will automatically defeat any LFE. one thought could be to set the sub to yes and have the x-over set to the minimum it will go, this MAY still send some LFE to the L/R channel if the x-over goes low enough.

i still don't quite understand your wiring.... could you elaborate on the use of the sub in your system?
