The sub woofer has the orange connector. If you aren't getting sound, you may need to change the sound effect to other than stereo to say 3d sound. You may also need to turn the speaker volume up for the sub. Also try playing something that has good bass to make it easier to tell if it's working.

You can connect a subwoofer by using this method: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-hook-up-a-subwoofer-to-a-stereo-system/

http://images.klipsch.com/SynergySubs1012Rev2012_635042117391170000.pdf I use the subwoofer connection because I have one and I like this way best but it looks like it can be connected other ways. I couldn't attach the pdf of the manual but you may be able to get it with the like I tried to attach. if this does not work you could go to the klipsch site for it or google klipsch sub 12 manual. When you get the manual you probably can tell if you can make it work for you. I have been happy with mine and feel it's a good value for the price. Good luck and happy listening.

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

The subwoofer will connect with the standard woofer RCA plug. I don't know about the other devices. Bob

My experience is the opposite... too much solid, rich bass, so I keep the volume knob located on the subwoofer control panel turned down to about 15%. Surprising for such an inexpensive system. Assure your connections, assure the subwoofer volume is tuned up, try a different audio cable between your sound source and subwoofer, try a different sound source. If none of these things work, consider returning them for replacement.

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

Just connect a 3.5mm to RCA cable to the back of the woofer (receiver) and set the input to analog.

I had this problem or the woofer loosing the connection to the unit. Unplug the sound bar and plug back in and the unit should reset and pair, also try this with the sub woofer. For some reason this reset the connection and mine started working. I think I unplugged the woofer after the pairing and it started up. Then when they became unpaired I rebooted the sound bar. Hope this helps.

The subwoofer will connect with the standard woofer RCA plug. I don't know about the other devices. I have my bar connected to a Sony subwoofer. Bob

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 need an amplifier. There are no head units that im aware of that will properly power a sub.

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

Mine is working fine and guessing that you have a connection problem, the subwoofer is turned off, the receiver isn't putting the signal out or a bad subwoofer. Hope this helps! S.

Had the same problem... so things to do:- Check to make sure you have power- make sure it is well connected to the Onkyo amp- check on the speaker configuration and sound mode.In my case I had to update the configuration so that it recognizes the sub is enabled. Took a few minutes to go though the menus...

My sub-woofer has an RCA type connector that attaches to the rear of the sound bar. As you look at the rear of the sound bar, there are connections facing back and connections facing down (under the "lip" of the cutout area). The sub plugs into the down facing connector. I hope that makes sense!
