Connect an RCA cable from the LFE output of your AV receiver to the LFE input on the subwoofer's rear panel. If your receiver does not have an LFE output, use a standard RCA stereo cable to connect the receiver's pre-out (subwoofer output) to both the left and right RCA inputs on the subwoofer.
- Wireless Connection (Optional WA-2 Kit):
For wireless operation, you can connect your subwoofer with a Klipsch WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit (sold separately). This allows for flexible placement without the need for long RCA cables. Refer to the WA-2 kit's instructions for pairing and setup.

For optimal performance, consider using your AV receiver's automatic room correction system (if available) after initial setup.
