Setting up and Connecting your Subwoofer Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position before connecting any component. To some degree, positioning the subwoofer is less critical because it produces only nondirectional low-frequency sounds. However, best results are obtained if the subwoofer is placed either between the left and right speakers or in the vicinity of either the left channel or right channel speaker.
