Is there a port on the back to hook up a sub? I have this identical speaker system but It came with a sub too (alltec bx1221) I was wondering if there are two ports on the back that should say "SWOUT". If so, it will work.

No, there is no port on the back but the sound from these inexpensive speakers is awesome!

Mine came with a separate usb speaker. I don't recall whether it was called a subwoofer or not, but I do seem to recall something along that line. As you can tell, that wasn't really important to me. I purchased separately a set of good quality usb speakers that I use whenever I'm watching something where sound is really important. I think it also depends on what features you loo for when you're deciding what system you want. The unit I purchased had the features I wanted and I'm very happy with it

The port is on the bottom, and the pre-out SUB is where you would want to connect it. The feet on the sub hold it up plenty high for the bottom port to be functional.. In a small room, this is all the sub you need. our room is 16 x 18 with 2 open doors, still plenty of bass. it isnt the most refined sub, but properly adjusted it is not boomy either.

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

same here got mine from CL. not a bad sub if you lay it on its side and plug the port (don't care for ported down fireing subs seal it and lay it on its side sna it will sound better!)

i was wondering what quality and hookup of the speaker wire is that this sysytem comes with. can i switch it out for my own of better quality or is it hardwired to the speaker/system? thanks

No. The amp is in your sub woofer case. All your Speaker Connections are on the back of the same Box.I have had this unit for several months now & it is a very good system. I'm sure if you purchase one you will Enjoy it.

The outputs on the back are of the push and lock style on bare speaker wire. There are two sets...one for the right speaker and the other for the left. Sorry if that doesn't help but that is the way the amp is set upnever tried just one speaker. Maybe it is possible. But even though the sound quality is great. I would not buy this amp again. The remote control is completely useless and I have to manually turn the amp on and off.

Everything matches up. All the speakers plug into the subwoofer then the lines from the sub go into your computer's 5.1 sound card. Remember its for a computer and is only accessible with the 5.1 sound card. Hope that helps

I so happen to also have a SMSL SA-50 amplifier. You only have a a pair of speaker outs which connects to your Polk T15. There is no sub out.

While I dont know your configuration, I can tell you that I have two subwoofers plugged in the single S/W port on the back of mine (I have a Y-Cable to split the power cords) I have Definitive Technology (BP-8060ST) Speakers plugged in for your reference.

Dear AR... I assume you are replying to the other's guy's post. I have a single RCA input on my subwoofer (as well as the alternative four speaker wire posts) and a single subwoofer RCA output on my Sony Receiver. The receiver works and the subwoofer works with the speaker wire connections. The subwoofer has an on and off switch so it must be powered. The subwoofer hums when I touch my finger to the unplugged end of the cable. So why doesn't the RCA connection work when plugged into the receiver?? What am I missing?

I have front and rear door speakers, as well as the in dash tweeters in my Subaru Outback, and they are all indeed functioning through the Alpine amplifier. Trouble is, I bought the Alpine from Amazon, but had it installed professionally and I'm not at all sure about the actual wiring setup. You may be better off calling the manufacturer. I can attest to the to the amazing sound, though. It Absolutely Rocks!!!

There is a setting in the bluetooth advanced menu for setting the speakers to "front" or "all". It defaults to front. I'm not sure if it affects the subwoofer, but it might be worth a try...

I want to know why I can't get the sub-woofer to work.It stays on stand-by mode.It works when I run the set-up mode,but after that it goes back into stand-by mode.What's wrong?

It has 3 sets of preouts that can be connected to amplifiers. I personally have this one connected to an amplifier on the subwoofer preout. You can also set it up to treat the rear speakers as subwoofers and it will only send the low end to that set of speakers. I hope this helps!
