How do I connect this subwoofer to my receiver if I do not have a sub output located on the back?

Please consider getting a receiver with a Sub-out. The sound quality will be improved beyond your wildest dreams.

I would go to bicamerica.com and go to the Contact Us page, then email or call them. You should be able to use one of the other speaker outs on the receiver (center rear perhaps) to one of the speaker inputs on the subwoofer. I recommend using 14ga or larger (smaller gauge number, i.e. 10ga) wire to run the sub though as you will hear substantially greater volume and clarity with a heavier wire especially for a subwoofer. Good luck.

It's pretty simple. You run your left and right front speaker wires from your amp to the sub, and it has "out to speakers" terminals you would then use to run speaker wires to your speakers.it comes with very easy to follow directions for set-up with good diagrams.

You have to use speaker wire from the receiver to the sub, then your front speaker to the sub which is a hardwired way to do it...

Connect the wire from the subwoofer to the sub amp and the connect the sub amp via rca cables to an audio out on your receiver.

Any subwoofer occupies a single "channel" from the receiver - one that combines the low bass outputs from right and left channels. Thus, one standard cable is usually sufficient. Do check the rear panel of your receiver/home entertainment power unit. It should have one output receptable labeled "subwoofer" or something similar. That is where the plug from the speaker goes. Since bass frequencies are not localized by our ears, there is no need for 2 subwoofers or separate cables to connect them. If the subwoofer has separate input jacks for the right and left channels (labeled and usually color coded) - which is very unlikely - you would need two such cables, plugged into the auxiliary R and L low level outputs from your receiver's pre-amp outputs (labeled)!

This is a powered subwoofer, meaning it has its own built-in amplifier, so the ohms don't matter. Your receiver should have a "subwoofer pre-out" or similar output in its rear-panel speaker terminals. Connect these terminals to the subwoofer "line in" inputs using RCA jacks. Try the speaker in several locations to see what works best. It's generally best to avoid corners, which can make the bass sound "boomy". Remember, too, that you're going to need a separate source of a/c power to plug the speaker into.

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

You will need one, two or three RCA type analog cables. So, depending on what you want to accomplish, you can connect the Subwoofer Output of the Receiver by itself with one RCA cable if you are connecting a subwoofer, or you can connect the Pre-amp Out for the Main Left and Right speakers (or other outputs), or you can connect all three at once, as all the inputs are active at the same time.

Read the directions that come with the subwoofer . Should tell you all the ways to hook it up there

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.

to the sub? I don't understand, i connect the speakers and the subuffer to my reciver, you can connect all to home theater too

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.

there are different ways to wire it, if your receiver has a sub-out plug on it just get a powered subwoofer cable and plug into either r or l on the woofer. Does not matter which one. hope this helps.

Yes in the back there is two outputs: front and rear (sub). YOU MUST UP THE SUBWOOFER VOLUMEN in the panel and bingo!!

You need a powered subwoofer. There is a pre-out (low power signal) on the receiver that connects via an RCA cable to the input of your powered sub. You can confirm this on the images on the Amazon listing.

No, you will have to get a subwoofer cable to plug from the sub to the receiver

This receiver has a subwoofer pre-out. You plug a subwoofer cable to the bottom plug on the pre-out on the receiver.

In order to use a passive sub you would need a separate power amp, or one of Denon's 7.1 receivers and assign the rear surround amp to the sub output.

I don't remember what the back of the unit looks like because the piece of garbage is in it's box up on one of the shelves. If it has 2 jacks on the back and you only have 1 plug on your subwoofer, you may have to find a cable splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs. You can probably find one where ever electronics assessories are sold and it will not cost very much. If you do purchase another subwoofer, then 1 input will be for the left side and 1 input for the right. At least that's how it is on my Onkyo receiver I purchased to replace the Sony STRDH820 receiver that constantly broke down that Sony claimed nothing was wrong with and could not fix or replace. Good luck with your unit. I still "MAKE BELIEVE" that I did not get ripped off with mine.
