I recently purchased this subwoofer for my brother's home theater, and his home is expected to be ready by December. I found this deal on the sub and bought it right away, thinking I could connect it to our Samsung TV. I got an optical to RCA converter, which worked, but I can't control the sub's volume. It's running at full blast and the vibrations are felt in our apartment, which is also not ideal for our ears. I was wondering if there's a way to control the sub's volume without buying an AV receiver, which I plan to purchase during the upcoming black Friday sale.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Low Pass Filter directs how "soon" the bass kicks in. The lower you set it, the lower the bass needs to be to actually kick in, basically if you only want it to rumble during "rumble stuff" (like explosions) you set it lower, or if you want it to rumble all the time (when someone closes a car door) you set it higher.
The "Gain" (volume on Klipsch) knob controls how loud that bass is when it does kick in.
It's been 5 months and I've been through first a couple weeks of their support jerking around about returning it, but had to wait on the return for them to do anything, then the sub went on backorder for 3 months, then they couldn't get me the sub and refunded instead of shipping, and now they can't seem to figure out how to ship a new sub at the original $699 price I originally ordered it at but I'm in a limbo that I have a backordered item on order but it's not being purchased or shipped despite them having stock at the price. Total mess.
Basically, purchase from Adorama at your own risk. They may ship you a used item as new and they will make it your problem. And returning an absolute monster of an item is a giant, massive PITA.
No matter the sub, 2 is better!
