How do you connect a Sonos amp to a powered subwoofer with this? The Sonos has a single, purple audio out. The subwoofer has a left and right input.

you probably needa Y jack to do that and they sell them all over. I would not try that tho until I contacted the manufacturer to see if that can be done. If they are both powered by amps then they may conflict with each other. Only a manufacturer can tell you that. A Y jack would work but you have to make sure your impedance levels match. I would contact the manufacturer to be safe. I would hate to see you blow the subwoofer out.

Hello JMA,We have the perfect cable for that setup. I attached a link below:Mediabridge ULTRA Series RCA Y-Adapter (15 Feet) - 1-Male to 2-Male for Digital Audio or Subwoofer - Dual Shielded with RCA to RCA Gold-Plated Connectors - Black - (Part# CYA-1M2M-15B )Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

HiI am not sure that you can use this cable. You need 3 males. Look into KabelDirekt Pro Series Subwoofer Cable ( 6 feet ) / Y - RCA Cable / Digital Cable - 1 x RCA Male to 2 x RCA Maleby KabelDirekt

It is a powered sub-woofer, the only input it needs is the sub-woofer output from an amplifier. If you have this kind of output from your amplifier, you're all set, you don't need a separate amp for the sub-woofer. It also has a volume control knob, so you can adjust the output to suit your tastes.

I would suggest the Sonos Connect Amp. Wire 3 together into left and 3 together into right!Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

If your stereo has a stereo auxiliary input you can connect it. Sonos has standard RCA output jack

The receiver has 2 subwoofer outputs. You can use either of them with an RCA cable to plug your subwoofer. I did exactly that with my own. If one day in the future you think you need a second subwoofer, you can use the other Onkyo output to plug it.

That unit is not really designed with a subwoofer output however you could use the Pre out to send the signal to the sub but it will send all the frequencies to it along with sub frequencies. The other way is to use hi level in and out from the raw wire speaker outs. This acts as a pass through and carries the signal through the sub and out onto your speakers.

To build on other's responses, this sub receives a subwoofer signal (via a single RCA port and cable) sent from an amp/receiver or other device that splits out the subwoofer signal such as some sound bars. This device does not receive power from an amp; it has it's own wall power plug.

You connect both speaker wires to the back of the sub. However, if you really want to connect only one speaker you can and still drive the sub just fine. Since the sub as it's own built-in amplifier, impedance is not an issue as it doesn't present any load to your amp.

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

A single male RCA subwoofer cable can be used and plugged into the L input. I have a receiver with a subwoofer out that uses a single RCA and this is not an issue. This is plug option listed with the included instructions, but is not very well documented elsewhere.

Couple ways to answer this question. 1) you're already running through the amp/mixer - why use a powered subwoofer? You can run a subwoofer from the main unit at the appropriate frequency 2) if you insist on using a powered sub, then I would do what the others stated below, monitor output

Please see the attached quote directly from the Sonos website and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) listing...."The Connect: Amp is designed for a single pair of speakers- it is a stereo amplifier, right and left channel. However, if your speakers are rated at 8 ohms, you can wire up to 2 pairs, or 4 speakers, to one Connect: Amp- you just won't have independent control between those two pairs of speakers, in terms of volume and music selection." The Sonos site can be found from this link...http://www.sonos.com/support#

If you use the L + R input on the back of the sub the unit will sum the input and create a mono signal for the amp. The sub out on the receiver is a mono signal already all you need is one RCA cable to connect to the sub. On most powered subs the one connection would be to the R input, but double check with the subs instruction info. The signal coming out of both sub outputs is mono. The second output is for hooking up second sub.

You will need one, two or three RCA type analog cables. So, depending on what you want to accomplish, you can connect the Subwoofer Output of the Receiver by itself with one RCA cable if you are connecting a subwoofer, or you can connect the Pre-amp Out for the Main Left and Right speakers (or other outputs), or you can connect all three at once, as all the inputs are active at the same time.

#1) If is a passive subwoofer you can use front left and front right speakers to the subwoofer inputs left and right and from the subwoofer output to the front left and front right speakers all this can be done with banana plugs, #2 if your subwoofer is self powered you dont need the banana plugs all you need is a sigle rca/component fitting cable from receiver sub output to the line in left or right in the suwoofer.

Both are two ohm outputs; however, if you are only connecting one sub, use left - and right +. This was confusing for me also, at first.

This is a bit like asking "how do you cook?" There us no one best way to hook up a sub... you need to divide the frequency of the signal into the frequency range your speaker responds to. There are many ways to do this... a crossover network can split the input (your music) into "sub" and "everything else" before the amplifiers and use separate amps for the subs and everything else... but thus is only one solution. Tell us what equipment you are trying to use and perhaps you will get a more useful response.
