Can this be plugged in to both sub preouts on receiver to a single cable feed to subwoofer? Or is that not necessary?

I don't know the answer for that. You need to check on your receiver or pre-amp's manual, but if you want to use only one sub-woofer than you don't need this kind of cable, what you need is a straight forward cable. I don't think your receiver is designed for doing that. I have two sub outs on my receiver for the purpose to use two separate sub-woofer so you can put one on each side of the room or one in the front one in the back at your surround speakers. I don't recommend you to do that, you should never mix signals. This cable is designed for if you have a sub and does not have a LFE input but has inputs for left and right than you connect the double Y part to the sub and the single end to your pre-out. Also you can contact with Mediabridge they have excellent technical support. Good luck and don't do it!!!

The number after the decimal designates the number of subs for a particular amp. 5.1; 5.2; 7.1;.7.2. etc. My old Harman Kardon stereo receiver is 2.1 but I have have 2 preouts for a single powered sub. L+R, NOT 1&2. I have two separate cables from one receiver into one powered sub. This cable can be connected to a single sub cable from your receiver to a sub with L and R inputs. Did I say that right?

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.

As far as I know you only need a sub out from the receiver to connect. Google the sub and your receiver for complete instructions. That's what I did to figure out how I needed to connect mine.

No. The receiver is built into the subwoofer. You just plug in your devices in the back of the subwoofer

I don't think you can. I did hook up a non-powered subwoofer with an old amp but was never really happy with the sound. This Onkyo receiver has very poor bass response in my opinion. Sorry I am no help.

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)!

You can get a sub cable at the electronics store and a splitter. It's. single on one in and red and white on the other. Plug the red and white into ur sub for better sound, then plug the sub cable into the sub connection in the back of the receiver. When u go into the menu of the receiver go into the manual select for speaker options and select 1 sub instead of two.

No, you can just plug it into either R or L, but if you use a Y adaptor, the subwoofer would be a few db louder.

It can not. You will have to run a cable from the receiver to the subwoofer.

You can just run your main amp wiring to the high level inputs and then run the needed wire from the sub to the front speakers. If your amp is a integrated preamp with mutable pre-outs you can run a RCA from the secondary pre-outs via a single RCA cable. This will give you a 2.1 setup with the sub playing only one channel of the possible two channels. Mono powered subs can run a single channel and it will not sound as though your missing out.

This mono amp is designed to be used with a "passive", (non-powered) sub woofer. If your subwoofer has a power cord, then it is "active" , meaning it has an amplifier built into it. In this case you don't need the separate mono amp. Simply run an rca cable from your sub-out on your receiver to the woofer.

Not really but the hookup is very similar. There are two RCA inputs on the sub and a splitter that hooks to the amp/receiver where your current cable is plugged in.

The manual seems to indicate that the sub connects to the preout. It says if you are using a non powered sub, you need to run it through another amp. Long ago when I was using a non powered sub I used an old receiver in line to power the sub. I feel it is best to get a powered sub and let it do the work rather than drawing power from the receiver.

One last thought you don't need more then one pre out to hook up the sub that is just one way and the other is the spliter

All ur receiver needs is a sub pre-out. So an RCA connection. Plug in to LFE(Low Frequency Effects) on sub.

Hello Joseph M and thank you for your inquiry.The Denon AVR-X3000 does have TWO subwoofer preamp outputs allowing for the support of dual subwoofers.I hope this answer helps but please let us know if you have any additional questions.Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp.com sales team

I believe with this receiver, the sub gets connected with a coaxial cable. Even though there are two coax outputs for sub, my sub only has one input so I use the right output. I don't believe there is a way to use positive and negative connection wires (speaker wire) to the sub unless you get some kind of low-high level converter converting the wires from the sub to the required input on the amp

The sub is powered. I have it connected with a single 3.5mm jack but as others have said, RCA is also possible.
