I'm using 2 of these splitters to drive 3 subs with 1 out. I haven't noticed any issues.

run an unpowered signal (Main output/ Aux output, etc) via 1/4" plug or 3-pin balanced "Mic" cable. 1/4 plugs into middle of 3-pin input. DO NOT run a powered signal into unit! It will split low end to main sub speaker, then send rest of signal to onboard power amps (2 passive spkrs can be plugged into unit and used as mains for small room or to power monitors- pretty neat setup, although only 150watts, used correctly the sub can be a self contained power setup.).

Exactly. You got it. I'm not sure which Denon reciever you have, but if it's a 5.1 or better,(not a pro logic) it should have a single rca plug labeled as "sub out" or "low signal out". Use a heavy gauge sub cable or rca cable.

I am not sure If I understand the question... this has two ports and the cables bring 2 receptors so you pretty much can have 4 devices connected to these.... they Use regular audio cables... I suppose you can use splitters and connect more?? I this helps... works for me like a charm great Product at least for my purpose

Juan is correct. Your subwoofer is probably unpowered, unless it has its own power cord. This receiver port that this connecter uses does not power the subwoofer, so you will not hear the signal through the speaker.

As long as you are able to run a signal to the sub from one of the other speakers. This can be done by simply splitting the audio cable going to any main speaker - subwoofer will only require mono input for proper functioning so both red/white rca cable not needed. I do this for my system and works with no issues.

I get the need for the AV cable, but does a single male to male cable work? The subwoofer has left and right in-jacks, so do you need to buy a female to male splitter to connect to the male/male cable coming from your receiver's sub/out? I think the instructions say you can hook up the AV cable to the sub/in Left but why wouldn't you want to use a right and left sub/in hookup? I don't get it? Also, can someone tell me whether 16 g speaker wire is good enough or is 12 g better? I'm not too tech-savvy.

Amp specs say, 300 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 2 bridged at 2 ohms. Now that's by two channel bridged, not by one. So that's telling me that in bridge mode the amp is not split to run say 4 full range speakers and 1 sub bridged. Sorry, I have to say no. I have seen A/B amps split to run what you want to do, but its been years. Not sure if class D amps are made to do so without being a 5 channel amp or damaging them or tripping into protection mode. You would be better off getting a 5 channel amp or just running a second amp for subwoofers. Sorry, I have to say no can do with this 4 channel.

I am using mine to connect two subwoofers to one sub-out on my receiver and it works perfectly. It should work for you to do that too.

It would be much better to buy a three way splitter instead of using two two-way splitters. On the other hand, if you have a need to have a 2-way split at one location and a separate two-way split at a different location which is fed from the first, this is perfectly acceptable. Note however, that each time you split the signal with a separate splitter, you will weaken the signal, potentially making it too weak for use.

This is a stereo receiver designed to play analog audio - so you can set up two sets of stereo speakers and a sub woofer. You can run the sets either together or independently. But you will only have stereo (i.e. two speakers) differential. If you want surround sound (utilizing more than two speakers) then this is not the receiver for you.

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.

Stephen G., I'm interested in connecting 2 receivers and switching between them. I have a modern home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V477) and a vintage receiver (Realistic STA-76 circa 1975). Each one does some things better than the other and I want to easily switch between them depending on what I want to do (like play vinyl on the vintage) and watch movies on the home theater receiver. If you know of something that can do this, please let me know. Thanks.

The receiver has 2 subwoofer outputs. You can use either of them with an RCA cable to plug your subwoofer. I did exactly that with my own. If one day in the future you think you need a second subwoofer, you can use the other Onkyo output to plug it.

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh

How do I connect my subwoofer to my Sony STR-DH 800 if my subwoofer has two wire connector?Do I need to buy another subwoofer to fit onto the subwoofer port on the STR-DH 800?
