I have a receiver with two sub preouts and a sub with two line in (L&amp;R) - Do I need two cables and do I hook one from each pre-out to the L&amp;R channel?

I have a JBL sub with 2 inputs (L+R), the left goes to a line level control. My amplifier only has 1 sub out, I connected the cable to the left input of the sub. Really works great.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.

You only need one cable per speaker. The cable is connected between the amplifier (or mixer& combo) to the speaker cabinet. Typically, each amp (or mixer/amp) has stereo output (L/R) therefore you will need two cables for the two speakers.

1 usually will suffice. The 2nd one is audio only in case your receiver does not support hdmi 4k. Unless you have a 4k device, the 1 cable will be enough.

They are for a subwoofer, so you should only need one for each sub. I have two subs so I have two. My Yamaha reciever also has outputs for two sub's.

The number after the decimal designates the number of subs for a particular amp. 5.1; 5.2; 7.1;.7.2. etc. My old Harman Kardon stereo receiver is 2.1 but I have have 2 preouts for a single powered sub. L+R, NOT 1&2. I have two separate cables from one receiver into one powered sub. This cable can be connected to a single sub cable from your receiver to a sub with L and R inputs. Did I say that right?

As far as I know you only need a sub out from the receiver to connect. Google the sub and your receiver for complete instructions. That's what I did to figure out how I needed to connect mine.

The receiver has one analog L/R output (pre-out) if you want to send the signal to another amplifier or recording deck.

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

Hello Mark, Thank you for your interest in Emotiva. Your AV receiver needs analog pre-outs in order to connect an external amplifier. The MRCA cable will only support two channels. If you are wanting to connect a multichannel amplifier for home theater we recommend the 7 RCA to 7 RCA cable as it will have all channels in a single cable. Thank you for your consideration!

You should read the manual on your subwoofer. Most subwoofers have a dual purpose input, 2 RCA connectors to use a standard "stereo" input, but one of those will also act as a coaxial input for single cable operation with most receivers

I don't notice a difference between using 1 or 2 RCA cables. The subwoofer works just fine with one input

No, you will need to provide the speaker wire. I bought 16 ga Monster Cable because I was separating the speakers by quite a distance and wanted the best conductors I could get. Also, you will have to provide the wire from the subwoofer to your receiver. The speakers really sound great.

No. As far as I know, subs are always a mono signal. There should only be one output from the receiver and input into the sub. This sub has a second RCA jack, but I believe it's an output, and I assume that is for chaining. I just have a regular stereo RCA cable and I'm only using one side for the connection.Hope that helps.Adam.

No, you should buy this. You have a mono RCA out on the receiver, I'm assuming. Running a mono RCA cable to either the "L" or "R" will result in you not getting full range of sound from your subwoofer. Connecting the mono cable to this splitter will allow the subwoofer to produce the full range of sound from whatever source ou are using.

Yes, that is correct. You need one rca cable from your denon out and connect it to the input marked as 'sub in'.

Both are two ohm outputs; however, if you are only connecting one sub, use left - and right +. This was confusing for me also, at first.
