So I kinda did take yesterday off. My boss didn't catch me live streaming, but I decided to catch the new John Wick movie today and...

Ran into our safety director and quality manager in line buying snacks.

Oops...
Sorry to threadjack/double post but this is too golden NOT to share.

I was a bit slow getting into the theater, walked in & didn't see either one, so sat a few rows up. Movie starts and they just appear, one on either side of me. *Insert two hours of awkward silence*

Movie ends, quality manager just up and outs. No goodbye, nothing. Safety director and I grab our trash and head towards the lobby, basic small talk.

We walk past the theater bar and "FD! Hey how's it going?!" Bar tender comes walking up. Safety director just blinks, "well see you Monday." Face, meet palm.

Why's it all laid out like a drug haul?

"Yo check it. I got uppers, downers, browners, and hazers. You wanna go left? My s**t makes you go right. You dragging? This will bury your face in it. Whywhywhy you pulling out that test kit dawg? This is all Grade A Primo."
 
WELL...

...first there's the mini CNC... but also the table it's sitting on. And, if you're going to be at Ikea anyway...

...might as well get the hot-dog. (Which was "meh..." but the Framboise water was AMAZING! Shouldn't have ordered it... I'm on a diet.)

Then these bad boys:

My first Ryobi tool EVER... and maybe my first Makita, too. (The router will replace the spindle motor on the CNC, and I needed the angle grinder to cut the linear rails... which will be attached to the new z-axis when it arrives.)
 
The Minisforum Oculink dock arrived today. It's actually my second one, as I use one with a mini PC and RX9070XT as my gaming PC right now. It's like an external PCIe 4.0 x4, and the performance isn't much worse than that of a PCIe 4.0/5.0 x16 slot (0-5% slower in tested games/benchmarks). I can't see any latency issues, flickering, or anything like that.

I also ordered the Minisforum AI X1 mini PC - barebone Ryzen 255 option (I have SSDs and RAM) - ~$450 inc. VAT and shipping. It should arrive on Friday.

LFE is just the dedicated "Low Frequency Effect" channel. If you have one, use it. Otherwise, you'll use the subwoofer-out (both are physical RCA connections).
@EarthDog your referring to the Receiver/Decoder?

My question is directed at the Subwoofer itself..

The Receiver listed in my Sig has dual LFE outputs , or what i believe are dual LFE outputs.
The Pioneer sub im swapping out , for now , did not include a LFE input.

This new PSW600-15 does have an LFE Input.
 
Your receiver and sub have LFE, use it.

Looking at the back of your sub, the L and R RCA jacks/channels are for stereo (2) subs. If your receiver has two LFE RCA outputs and you two subs, you would plug in one for each channel (L and R).

EDIT: Looking at the back of your receiver, use sub channel 1 and plug it into the LFE on the subwoofer as you only have one sub.

EDIT2: I doubt you'd notice a difference if you plugged into the L/R RCAs instead of the LFE RCA. Your sub's crossover would lop off the high frequency whereas your receiver likely already does it internally (varies by receive where the crossover point is).
