I have Left &amp; Right JVC MX GT88 speakers both of which have (Bare wire subwoofer &gt; +Red, ,-black &gt; 4 wires in total) receiver has only 1 RCA output?

The RCA output jack is for the subwoofer only. L, R, center, and surround L&R are simple bare wire hook up. Yes, you will need to wire in a RCA jack for the sub. Shielded cables are always better with any audio application.

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

It has one sub input which has an RCA input style plug. It also has two sets of jacks for input that would use two wire connections (+ and -) for left and right. Could use banana plugs on those I think. Additionally, it has two identical sets of connections that could be used for output to connect additional speakers. Again, banana plugs could be used for those or just stripped wires tightened into place.

Yes, there is an area on the back of the receiver to the upper left of the area marked "speakers" for a connection to the Subwoofer with an RCA standard plug. It is labeled Subwoofer, and has one plug.

I have rca cables for both running to my head unit but i think they are split to go in to go into one output

Are there RCAs? If so, make sure that they are plugged in correctly. Also, with this harness I assume you will have separate speaker wires. Make sure they are colour coordinated and connected like-to-like.

There is a set of RCA outputs for your subs, the purple antenna wire is the remote for the amp, there is a remote control connector, the remote control you have to buy separate , speaker wires and amp wiring are also separate... If you are replacing an existing receiver just reuse the old wiring to those speakers and such

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

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?

Not sure what u mean but make sure there is sub cable input for the receiver and subwoofer. Some older subs use speaker wire instead.

I have 2 wires to each of the main speaker outputs on my receiver. One to the Subwoofer and one to the main speakers. it works flawlessly and sounds awesome.

Some receivers have output connections that are rca. Yoy will need rca cables for each speaker

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.

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?

Either you bought different speakers from me (and the ones you posted the comment about), you received different speakers than you ordered or your observation is incorrect. My speakers have terminals on only one side.

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.
