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

If you want a high quality sound you have to use USB which pretty much eliminates any option for a subwoofer connection from what I have found in my research. This is by far the worst part of owning these speakers. I am planning to open the speakers and wire an output from the powered outputs and custom wire an output for a sub due to this glaring deficiency. That or sell the speakers and buy some with a sub output.

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.

I did significant research on this connection for my AV server and my analysis concluded that a Y-RCA cable was not needed nor was it recommended. My sub sounds quite impressive with both movies and music. I do suggest that you use a high quality shielded RCA cable.

Sorry I have no idea, I use the Emotiva Stealth 8 speakers which do not require subs and I never felt the need to find out if you could use the RCA outputs for sub woofers.

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers

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.

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

Yes, I am also interested about attaching a subwoofer. Has anybody any news on this?

I don't think it works like that Rooster. The sub reproduces tones from the audio signal that theKlipsch is un able to reproduce. Check out the BIC subwoofer, looks like a good choice for the budget-mindedaudiophile. I agree that this Synergy speaker could really use some bottom end.

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

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

Not knowing your application it's hard to say. For me, I think the K10's are really powerful and a great form factor. I think an awesome solution would be to add a subwoofer. I think they call it the K-Sub. That setup would cover it all!

Subwoofer should connect automatically. If not, I believe there's a connect button on 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 !!

I believe mine has a port for the subwoofer but I don't use one. You can find a pic of the back of the receiver by searching for it.

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)

The sub being used would need to have RCA inputs(how mine us currently setup). I guess you could rig up a splitter off of one of the speaker inputs. Or if your sub has input/output for speaker wire you could do that too.
