Probably the unit which is faulty, these sets are terribly made and really are poor quality.

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

Its odd that what Pioneer told you works.It doesn't correspond with what the manual says at all.Are you guys connecting the sub with the subwoofer pre-out (LFE--sub with an amp) or are you connecting an unpowered sub with regular speaker wires?I have a powered subwoofer on the way. I guess I'll see if I have to do the same.

I transfer the input of car system into aux and connect mp4 with the car by an aux line

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

There should be a sub line out, mine had a single line out and I had to buy a 2 into 1 RCA adapter to make it work.

I think it requires a different cable. I plugged an auxiliary cable into it, and it would not play sound through my subwoffer.

This is an auxiliary input that replaces rhe cd changer input on your head unit. If the subwoofer works when you play the radio or a cd then it Will still work with this. It sounds like you are trying to use it as an output thought which in that case it won't work

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

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!

Not very well, Ur gonna need some type of amp to power the sub. subs usually take more power to run then the normal speakers in Ur car. U will burn out the radio trying to power the sub or u will not have any sound come out the sub

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.

I always use 4gauge install kits. Your amp needs the same. The ground lead to the cars chassis must be a very good solid connection and the lead should be no more than 12" if possible. Cables at the cars battery need to be solid too, and your battery cables clean and tight always. Speaker wires should be 12guage for subwoofer-and +/- must be identical length from amp to speaker. Your speaker must be compatible in it's "ohms" rating with the amp's bridged ohms rating. Many amplifiers will not run 2 ohms bridged-you may have to change to a 4 ohm speaker or upgrade the amp to a 2 ohm stable model. Follow the instructions that came with the amp for +/- and especially for setting gain level. If you are driving a subwoofer, read it' s frequency specs closely. Adjust the variable crossover on the amp so that no amp output above say, 30hz is sent to the speaker. Very important! And high quality shielded RCA cables routed clear of all other wiring is a must. Finally, some larger subs drink your amplifiers output very quickly. If you hear heavy static popping sounds (clipping), you'll have to turn the amp gain down and after insuring all of the above are checked and properly installed and adjusted if you are still going into overload, the amp is suspect and may need replaced. Good luck!

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

It could be, but most car subwoofers don't have a preout per say. Usually they use rca dual outs to the subwoofer amp and speaker wire from the amp to the sub. Just check how you want to set your system up and a dual rca cable might make more sense

you are going to have to measure the diameter of your subwoofer to the diameter of this. But from my experience, it will not fit.

Are both subs powered, if so switch the inputs to see if the other works if not you have a bad RCA cord. Hope this helps you.
