Hi. I have a Pioneer vsx-515. The problem is with my sub. It has a low pass/RCA connection and a hi pass 4-wire connection. When connecting the high pass from two of the channels and i turn up the volume the receiver cuts out on 'overload'. the cable i use is about a 1.5mm. when connecting the low pass i have to use a splitter and normal RCA cables. this in turn makes my sub cut out at high volumes. is my receiver, sub or maybe my cable thickness the problem? |

Are you connecting the sub in addition to the speakers already connected to the speaker output?
Are you connecting in parallel or series when you use the speaker outputs?

Well, i have 7 outputs in total. 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers, 1 centre speaker and the remaining 2 outputs are connected to the sub when the high pass input is used. another question: should both the high and low pass inputs be used at the same time or is it one or the other? |

It is just one or the other. That unit should have a sub output or an LFE output. Use that instead. |

Yes it has a single sub output that i use a splitter on and connect 2 RCAs to it. but the problem is that it cuts out the sub at higher volumes (around -23dB). the power/signal indication light on the sub turns from green to red. i have to lower the volume and switch the sub off and on again for it to work again. is this normal? |
