Using 2 Bose 101 speakers, Lepal 2020A which has RCA &amp; 3.5mm stereo inputs, and 2 speaker wire outputs. How do you hookup this sub to that equipment, thanks?

You run the two speaker wire outputs from the amp into this sub, then speaker wire out to your 101s. This allows the amplified signal to go through the crossover in the sub on the way to your Bose speakers.

It works great with my Peachtree Amplifier. I have it connected with RCA cables, but it can be connected with ordinary speaker wire. You can adjust the effect with the gain controller on the subwoofer from a satisfying thump to vibration of objects in the room.

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.

I bought a subwoofer cable and it only had one output while the subwoofer itself has two. The receiver has one input for the subwoofer. I've seen a lot of questions about this and it looks like the solution is a Y cable. You may also want to look at some speaker stands. You could make installation easier if you have the stands near your walls.

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.

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.

Wire your speakers normal. But drop the resistance on the sub. It should push it no problem

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)

This gets connected using an amplifier ( 100 watts ) and standard speaker wire. The amplifier is fed as you would a subwoofer.

I asked Energy customer service about this. They said connect to the LEFT input of the sub only. They were very adamant that it would not degrade the sound. They explained that the Left/Right inputs are there for some (older?) receivers that have split Left/Right outputs for the subwoofer. I was going to by a Y adapter, but they convinced me there was absolutely no need.

Read the directions that come with the subwoofer . Should tell you all the ways to hook it up there

What 2 channel types do you have? I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

It sounds like you shouldn't run Audyssey with Bose speakers. Just go through the tone test and try to level out the output. Then adjust to ear. The bass module isn't a true subwoofer so there may be problems there. Also, Bose is rather...um, proprietary about their products, so it doesn't surprise me to see the speakers don't "play well with others".

The receiver does not have speaker terminals for the subs instead it has a sub out which means that the output is preamp so passive subs won't work. Active subs (powered) are solution to the power need to the amplifier to reproduce deep low frequency. If you can't part with the bass module, this receiver is not for you. Otherwise just replace the bass module with a powered sub just realize it probably can't compete with the Bose bass module.

You need a y adapter. KabelDirekt Pro Series Subwoofer Cable ( 6 feet ) / Y - RCA Cable / Digital Cable - 1 x RCA Male to 2 x RCA Male by KabelDirekt http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DI89EZI/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_pS8Vtb04PNNB4

If you have Bose speaker wires and the Bose subwoofer , you do not need anything, what type of Bose speakers are you using now with your Acoustimass Sub?

I did not use the RCA connectors..the back of my receiver is mostly set up for my computer system. I just spliced another speaker wire into each speaker output--left and right, input and ground, and plugged the two wires from each side into their corresponding connections on the SW. It works great this way....took longer to strip the existing wires than it did to set up the sub.
