I have a powered subwoofer w/ rca jack and 14 awg wires coming out of wall. Will this adapter work, or do I need a 14 awg adapter?

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.

"no" you only have to use the positive red input , in the back of your subwoofer . so if you have a double white & red rca cable ? just use positive output ( red ) out from receiver to red input on subb.!! red to red !! one cable is all you need !!

You can probably get away with just the one rca out, but you should go to the Polk website - they have a lot of technical info there on connecting a subwoofer in your system.

Your sub must have a "WA Port" for this to work. I am not sure what that is, (my sub does not have a "WA Port"). If your sub has the RCA connector(s), you do not have a "WA Port".

you will need xlr cables or you can also use rca cables. I use xlr cables because I go to powered subwoofers and speakers.

It won't matter. If there are two (left and right) lines into the sub's built in amp, they are wired in parallel.But, if you have two subwoofer/l.f.e. outputs from your receiver, you might want to use both of them to give you the strongest input voltage to the sub. I don't see how using a "y" adapter to go into both inputs could possibly hurt though. It just wouldn't accomplish anything.

yes, you will need a simple RCA Y adapter, but it will cut the power to each sub in half. depending on the subwoofer, you may want to pick up 2 of these fine amps

That's a somewhat unusual speaker impedance. Your best bet is to consult the speaker manufacturer for their recommendation. However, you should be fine with 14 AWG for a run of up to 50'. 12 AWG gets rather expensive.

No, you will need to provide the speaker wire. I bought 16 ga Monster Cable because I was separating the speakers by quite a distance and wanted the best conductors I could get. Also, you will have to provide the wire from the subwoofer to your receiver. The speakers really sound great.

No! Don't plug your Subwoofer into the outlet!! It doesn't have a preamp like other subwoofers. There are 2 pairs of wires: right channel [green (+) and white (-)] and left channel [red (+) and black (-)]. Just attached them to your receiver like you would any speaker. Good luck!

Sorry I have no idea, I use the Emotiva Stealth 8 speakers which do not require subs and I never felt the need to find out if you could use the RCA outputs for sub woofers.

You need a Sub woofer Cable, Preferably Banana Plugs and speaker wire. I purchased the following respectively and am quite happy with these: Mediabridge Ultra Series Subwoofer Cable, Sewell Direct SW-29863-12 Deadbolt Banana Plugs (12 pair) and Monoprice 100ft 16AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable. You may also need speaker mounts.

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

as long as your subwoofer takes rcas then yes. most house subwoofers have either push pin or rca plugins

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

I also have the Marantz 1403 and I would not recommend hooking up two of these. BUT if you did, you could use a product like this:http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-ULTRA-RCA-Y-Adapter-Inches/dp/B005DL2OVE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426287046&sr=8-1&keywords=subwoofer+cable+splitter

Yes it will work! Run a component wire (RCA) cable from subwoofer out on ur Yamaha to red rca plug in on subwoofer! In fact u could have 2 seperate subwoofers with ur stereo if like!
