What if your receiver only has a subwoofer pre out i.e just one rca out what do you do then?

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

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

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.

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

There is a connection for an external amp in the back of the unit. You just have to purchase an amp wiring kit separate. The RCA's just plug into the back and the blue remote power just wires to the blue remote on the wiring harness. As for the sub controls, just press the "volume" knob in once and scroll until you find them. It actually labeled subwoofer. Hope this helps!

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.

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

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.

A standard RCA patch cable will connect your receiver to a subwoofer amp or powered subwoofer.

I don't remember what the back of the unit looks like because the piece of garbage is in it's box up on one of the shelves. If it has 2 jacks on the back and you only have 1 plug on your subwoofer, you may have to find a cable splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs. You can probably find one where ever electronics assessories are sold and it will not cost very much. If you do purchase another subwoofer, then 1 input will be for the left side and 1 input for the right. At least that's how it is on my Onkyo receiver I purchased to replace the Sony STRDH820 receiver that constantly broke down that Sony claimed nothing was wrong with and could not fix or replace. Good luck with your unit. I still "MAKE BELIEVE" that I did not get ripped off with mine.

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.

You don't connect the speakers to the sub. The sub and the rest of the speakers connect to your receiver.

Mono RCA cable. There are subwoofer-specific models available. You only need one channel for the subwoofer. The reason the subwoofer has a L/R input and output is to allow you to use the subwoofer inline with stereo pre-amp cables. Running the subwoofer off of a surround amp with a dedicated subwoofer output makes this feature unnecessary.

I would have to say yes. I used a single RCA cable, but something just didn't sound right. I then purchased a y-split subwoofer cable and there was an obvious difference, at least to me.

The sub comes with RCA cables. They are left and right that converge to a single.

John, According to the R-S201 owners manual there is no SUB OUT connection. You would have to use a receiver with a sub out connection. There is a work around that is more than I can describe here.

Wire it between the amp and preamp (if you have that option; only 2 rca wires required). Plug the EQ into a switched outlet on your receiver.

No, no, no. If you have a one subwoofer rca out on your receiver, it goes from there to the left input on the subwoofer. It tells you this is your manual. enjoy

To balance the load of the powered amp in the sub, I bought a RCA splitter and plugged it into the L/R on the back of the sub. My reciever only had one RCA out for my sub so the splitter worked
