Hi Kef users, anyone tried using a subwoofer? There are USB &amp; 3.5mm adapter to RCA for the sub connection.

As far as I know, the 3.5 mm is a line-in connection to the speaker's amplifier. I haven't tried a sub, but if I were to try one, I would connect it to the line-out output of the sound card of the PC.

Hello, I seem to remember seeing something somewhere about a sub woofer that is compatible with this speaker system, but I didn't have a need so I don't have any idea how well the sub woofer works. I have had the USB powered speaker bar for about 6 months and I love it. It does not deliver a huge sound, but it has plenty for my needs. It has enough volume for me and the sound is fine. I use mine on a MAC computer. It was a very easy setup, and Im certain it would would work just as well with your PC. This is not a sound system that is made to fill a huge room with a full and lush sound. It is instead, a practical inexpensive speaker system that works great for sound and music while your setting in front of your computer or TV. I hope this helped a little. My advice is ... get one, you will like it. Good luck. Craig

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

my sub is starting to get weak for some reason. do you guys know if i can hook up a powered sub to this receiver? im not sure if i can since the sub this came with connects via regular speaker wires (black and red)

In theory yes, a regular rca cable can be used to connect a subwoofer to a receiver...but...as someone who tied it, I would not recommend using this cable for that purpose. The subwoofer has frequencies that a true subwoofer cable carries. Spend a bit more money and purchase a true subwoofer cable (in Amazon search: Monster subwoofer cabke). BTW In some connections the rca cable (left or right cabke doesn't matter) will not transmit any audio to the sub.

"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 !!

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?

You need a powered subwoofer. There is a pre-out (low power signal) on the receiver that connects via an RCA cable to the input of your powered sub. You can confirm this on the images on the Amazon listing.

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

I don't see how as it only has speaker wire outputs (or RCA if only using as a preamp), but the KEF amazon reviews say it only accepts USB and 1/8 in. minijack.

Dear Bill, Thanks so much for the advice. I set the speaker for speaker pattern 3/2.1 which I assume means three in the front, two in the back and subwoofer.. and produces 5.1 sound. Anyhow, sounds good to me and the RCA cable works fine. Had the Protector message come up and shut down the tuner a few times... I eventually figured out the the dangling speakers wires going from my A and C speakers that I had disconnected from subwoofer were causing the problem... Disconnected them from the speakers also and normalcy returned.. Again Thanks.....John

I still use the Kef speakers as my surround speakers and they are really good. My front speakers are klipsch. Center channel is also Kef. Never felt the need to change them.

I definitely recommend connecting the coaxial to the Philips subwoofer. Once I did that, the sound just literally blew me away!

BTW - only the sub is from the old system. I have a set of Yamaha's for the r/c/l set-up. :)

It is listed as RCA to RCA. Fits fine on my KEF subwoofer and Onkyo TX-NR616 receiver. Sorry, I don't know what a LFE connection is.

There is an aux input on the back of the subwoofer. I think you could plug on there.
