hooking up buttkickers

[booboo759]

Hi everybody,
JUst bought a buttkicker and I have question on hooking this up. I own a Bose system 28 series 1. If I get a y splitter and go from the speaker rca jacks on the bose and then to the buttkicker amp which speaker should I go from. Back speakers or front speakers on the Bose. Which is better? I have not received my buttkicker amp yet. Due in Tuesday but I can hardly wait. Also should I get two y splitters and go from both back speakers or bith front speakers and then combine them for the butt kicker amplifier or can I get it from just one speaker on my bose. I have also a harmony 890 and it is great. I have a blue light that uses z wave technology so when I watch a movie the blue light in back of the tv lights up the wall to create a mood that is great. THe harmony 890 can control the blue lights. I bought the wireless butkicker link but I will run the speaker wire under the rug until I know I have the butkicker set right. Then I will try the wireless link which I can get the harmony to automatcally turn the amp on when I watch a movie. Thanks

... I don't know if this will work, but let's try it.

I read the owner manual online and I see that there's no "Sub output" just L,C,R,SL, and SR; (usually on Sub out is where you connect the buttkicker amp to be able to get the .1 signal from movies" ... I assume that your Bose send that signal to all speakers L,C,R,SL,SR .. or the "module" is also the subwoofer (I'm not familiar with Bose).

Try using a "Y" like you posted from L and R; but if you do it the buttkicker amp will get the full range signal ... I think you can control it with the crossover on the amp.

If this doesn't work ... I'm sorry but you'll need to get a new AVR with a sub out; or if you want to try to get help from the manufacturer

Don't be surprised if someone tells you that Bose is not good ... reality is that for the price, you can get something better (like in this case with a sub out).

I have two buttkicker LFE in my HT ... I used the sub out on the AVR to connect it
