[aspeters]

Ok so in the 3:00am thinking, I failed the basic concept of understanding stereo vs. mono, and was using 1/4" STEREO for the input. Rewired using only mono made a huge difference. Thanks for the thoughts though.

Although, as a result I've picked up a ton of hum, but looks like theres plenty on the forums to address that already. One quick question came to mind though:

Based on room config (and WAF), the sub is placed pretty much on the opposite end of the room from the reciever, and thus I have a long run of RCA carrying the LFE/Sub Line out signal. Since the BFD has introduced significant hum, would putting the device ahead of this long cable rather than after it make a significant difference in line hum?

Thanks again and cheers to good sound in lousy rooms.
