Just purchased this sub. My receiver has 2 sub outs but not rca. Its a 7.2 receiver so it has 1 line for each sub. Where do I connect my 1 sub cord.

Correction to my previous response. Still plug into L/RFE female plug on subwoofer. Forget the adaptor. It's been a while since I installed mine. You need a subwoofer cable. It is a different size than RCA jack. I am 100% sure this is what you need to do. You can actually order a subwoofer cable on Amazon if you can't find one locally. 7 or 8 dollars.

You only use one channel, not both. Mind has RCA on both ends, rec. out and sub in. Use dual ended RCA and cut off one end to get the two wires you need to connect to rec. inputs.

Difficult to say for sure, but your instruction manual should explain the wiring connections. Check the manual for the new name, "LFE", sub woofer is the old term...good luck.

When you have only one cord it goes in the female plug L/RLFE in. If you don't have RCA jack on your line, you will have to buy an adaptor at Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc.

If you have a receiver that is 5.2 or 7.2 you can run one RCA cable to the Red and one to the white for the 2 sub outputs. That's what I did.

there are different ways to wire it, if your receiver has a sub-out plug on it just get a powered subwoofer cable and plug into either r or l on the woofer. Does not matter which one. hope this helps.

If the receiver has two preouts it is meant for two separate subs. If just running one sub on your system then you just need to use one cable from your receiver to your sub and leave the other preout alone.

How do I hook this up to my home stereo, Denon AVR-x2000? I have a cable that is 1/4" plugged into main outs into RCA input on my receiver. Still no go

Does your amp have a dedicated RCA output jack for subwoofer? try this link: http://stereos.about.com/od/systemsetup/tp/Connecting-a-Subwoofer.htm

Mine is the same way. I just run the connection from the reciever to the top connection on the sub. Works great, as the sub signal is not stereo.

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?

The sub comes with RCA cables. They are left and right that converge to a single.

Are both subs powered, if so switch the inputs to see if the other works if not you have a bad RCA cord. Hope this helps you.

No. As far as I know, subs are always a mono signal. There should only be one output from the receiver and input into the sub. This sub has a second RCA jack, but I believe it's an output, and I assume that is for chaining. I just have a regular stereo RCA cable and I'm only using one side for the connection.Hope that helps.Adam.

You'll need to explain what your setup is like in more detail to get a reliable answer. What kind of receiver are you using? In general, no, you don't want to hook the bare ends of this to an existing speaker wire, and then plug this into the single RCA jack on a subwoofer. Those jacks are made for audio/instrument/signal cables, not speaker wires/cables.

The sub out IS a reguar RCA female jack HOWEVER is it recessed (at least on my unit) in the case rather than protruding, so you will need an RCA male plug on a cable (or an adapter) that does not "wrap" the male plug with any sort of covering. A standard, but fully exposed, RCA male plug is required. Also, the jack may be slightly misaligned in the recessed opening so a slight wiggle might be required to properly connect even a fully exposed RCA male plug. Newer models may have the unit's RCA jack protruding, I don't know ...

I would encourage you to hook up the sub to your receiver first to see if you need the amplifier. Unless you are calling your receiver an amp.The sub gets hooked into your right And left out the the speakers get hooked up to your sub speaker...marked left and right.

Dear AR... I assume you are replying to the other's guy's post. I have a single RCA input on my subwoofer (as well as the alternative four speaker wire posts) and a single subwoofer RCA output on my Sony Receiver. The receiver works and the subwoofer works with the speaker wire connections. The subwoofer has an on and off switch so it must be powered. The subwoofer hums when I touch my finger to the unplugged end of the cable. So why doesn't the RCA connection work when plugged into the receiver?? What am I missing?

You should read the manual on your subwoofer. Most subwoofers have a dual purpose input, 2 RCA connectors to use a standard "stereo" input, but one of those will also act as a coaxial input for single cable operation with most receivers

The answer above re 2 subs shd answer this question. There are two sub outs back of this receiver, both are sitting under a center channel out.
