Sub connection Can anyone confirm if the sub has a coax connector on back of it that goes to seperate receiver or is it speaker wire that plugs to back of sub?

Single RCA jack; comes with cable (about 10 feet) to connect AVR to Subwoofer.

Just to clarify the sub input is line input via RCA plug. Not to be confused with other coax connectors.

if it's from pioneer you'll be all set with the wire that's included in the mount box. I have the box and speaker from pioneer and it works flawlessly. just be sure the wires are attached correctly to the sub and that they are very secure once attached to the sub. once you mount the sub you can't really go back and fix the wiring. just take your time and read the instructions

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 receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.

No, it's passive. Take your left and right speaker wires from receiver to the sub, then go from the sub to your left and right speakers. Hope that helps!

Any subwoofer occupies a single "channel" from the receiver - one that combines the low bass outputs from right and left channels. Thus, one standard cable is usually sufficient. Do check the rear panel of your receiver/home entertainment power unit. It should have one output receptable labeled "subwoofer" or something similar. That is where the plug from the speaker goes. Since bass frequencies are not localized by our ears, there is no need for 2 subwoofers or separate cables to connect them. If the subwoofer has separate input jacks for the right and left channels (labeled and usually color coded) - which is very unlikely - you would need two such cables, plugged into the auxiliary R and L low level outputs from your receiver's pre-amp outputs (labeled)!

Logitech replaced my entire speaker system when my Control Unit went bad, so I have a full system without a Control Unit. What I'm wondering is: is there a way to hook the sub up to a receiver? I can easily hook up the fronts, center and rears via the receiver's Class 2 Wiring hookups, but there is no way to do so with the sub, which would have to be modded. Any ideas?

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.

Seems like it from the image on google, you have 5 amplifier connectors for speaker wire and a preamp connector for the sub. You have lots of other choices so do your research, but we've been very pleased with these.

There is a sub woofer RCA jack on the back side, if you need two RCA connects buy a splitter from some store like best buy or radio shack. The other way I have connected a sub is to attach in series with the other forward speakers with speaker wire.

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.

comes with a short piece of RG59(3ft) connects between power supply & tv receiver. No other coax is supplied. This amp performs very well!

Yes, the sub is powered, from the receiver. The sub and speakers are all wired.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

John L. Moncrief says: "The receiver works and the subwoofer works with the speaker wire connections."So R u using speaker wire to power the sub, oR R u Using a subwoofer cable, Or are U using both? U need a Sub cable/spdif cable, 1 N the same in name. "So why doesn't the RCA connection work when plugged into the receiver??"If u have the RCA and Speaker wire plugged up 2gether then there will be a prob. U can only power a sub w/A cable. Hope it helps BTW what type of sub are u running?

Yes, actually to the subwoofer. The sub is serving as the middle man persay. One set of wires connect from the sub to the reciever. Then a set of wires connect from the sub to the speakers.

I actually just wired it into the B Channel connections and have had no problems...works great and that was the easiest way of wiring it. so, my speakers are in the A, the sub is in the B and I just flip the switch to A&B.; Hope that helps.
