Hello I have recently acquired the Onkyo A-9070 integrated amplifier. It has no subwoofer out. My subwoofer is the Mirage S-10, complimenting my Mirage OMD-15'S. the sub has no rca input, just the one LFE Input. The S-10 subwoofer manual says I can connect it via lfe or speaker levels to the amp. I am not going to use the speakers levels inputs, as speakers b are used to bi-amp the omd-15's. Can I use the pre out via rca from the 9070 and connect it via 'y' CONNECTOR AND INPUT INTO THE LFE IN ON THE SUBWOOFER. Is it feasible and safe? Ty foryour advise.   |

No, never combine two output signals together using a Y-connector. If you want to use both you'll need a low-level summing box. Try using only one side, say the left, as sub bass is usually mono and you may get perfectly acceptable results. Be sure to activate the crossover (filter) on the front and dial in the sub to blend with your mains.

got it done. used a subwoofer cable, from white of the pre out on the 9070 to the LFE on the sub, works great, had to adjust volume and frequency set. it' sound great.
Ty ya'll. Ty DYohn
