“I see conflicting answers. I have Yamaha RX-V473 Receiver with single Subwoofer out. Some say simply plug into the SW LFE input and others say get a Y cable and plug both L/R inputs in. I was told at BBY to get the Y cable, is there a diff/benefit?”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The single wire works just fine. You dont even have to buy the monster y cable either.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Simple, use the LFE. It's all about your AV and what signals are coming out of it. My Marantz SR7011 supports (2) subs, but looking at the back of my AV you have a single RCA type out, I plugged the other "single" end of that cable to my LFE post on my Klipsch R-12SW. Then on the sub, I turned the LowPass(hz) all the way to the right, marked LFE. Works perfectly. The left/right on the sub are in case you didn't have a specific "subwoofer out" from a receiver/processor because you would want to make sure and capture all the LFE signal. The LFE signal from all channels will be combined into the subwoofer out by the receiver and as such you don't need both left/right inputs on the sub.
