Thank you for not starting the video with a long introduction about what your doing. You are like the only one who has ever done that. Just get straight to the point. Awesome!

Finally a great video to understand everything about subwoofer connections.

Dude you know how hard was to find this simple but yet so helpful channel?? Thanks

I actually bought a $500 subwoofer, but because I watched your video, I did not know there was a fuse that was easy to access.. so I checked it and it was out, bought a new one and my goodness it worked. Thanks, I will still keep it and put it in my son's room.

12 years old video but none of recent video could beat your video, very helpful thanx a lot

Short sweet and straight to the point. Thank you so much.

oh MAN thank you!. You explained everything a lot better than my klipsch subwoofer's manual! Now I know what everything does, thanks!

Very well explained. I was clueless before this video!! THANKS FOR THE INFO.

*short, sharp breath* Immediate explanation. Love it.

Thanks. Well explained and concise. Just great for newbies like me.

Thanks a bunch. I was unaware not using the frequency dial when using LFE (until now)

Thank you very much for your video. You really answered all my questions regarding the subwoofer setup. Please continue with your excellent work.

I had a situation and I am offering this additional information: I could not get sound out of my sub and I tried every hookup. Until I realized my receiver has volume adjustments to each individual speaker, L,R,CENTER,SR,SL,SUB. Remember to check the the SUB volume is not off or all the way down in the settings of the receivers menu/mode options. Good luck.

Brilliant Straightforward Review! Thank you very much!

Great videos, I see most of the subs nowadays use the RCA inputs/outputs

Short and sweet. This is the best! Thank you!

Very clear and helpful presentation! Thank you

Nice. Thanks for the vid. Just picked up a Subwoofer someone was just tossing and really didnt know how to hook it up. This helped a lot.

Thanks so much you guys. My sub hooked right up and the system sounds great!

how can i connect my twice sony subwoofer using the black red cable ...??

Very helpful, having purchased a used sub with no manual. Thanks!!!

Hi, this is very informative video and thanks for sharing. I have one question though that I am trying to ask and have no got my answer clearly. I have been using the option three for connecting my sub woofer through the red and black speaker in puts and out puts and then I use just once the option for hook up cable in to red and white ports. Does it make a difference in sound if we use the connections to Sub woofer using the "red and white cable ports" OR using the "Red and black spring clipers", Thanks.

Great explanation! Thanks for sharing. I'm a home theatre newby.

The only thing I ask is which one would you prefer and which one would deliver the best quality out of the three

Finally a video easy to understand thanks

great video thanks for not ranting, but where could I buy that amplifier alone? please and thankbyou

Hi, when you put a second cable (y) in to left and right line, how does the cable look in the other side? Its a single rca?Thanks.

if you set the subwoofers on diferent phase positions they will cancel each other out, the phase switch gets usefull when you want to place the sub behind the listening position(to match the front speakers phase or if you have one in the front and one in the back(in this case you must reverse the back one only)

Thank you! Exactly what I needed

Have a question.Does the bass control on my receiver affect the sub out or just the speaker outs?

Thank you. Man, just got a dcm tb1212 at Christy's auction for twenty bucks!!! Dual 12 inch subs!! Thing is ridiculous!!!

So if I only have a single coax cable out from receiver and no LFE, I thought I could just plug it into either left or right input on sub. I need to buy a splitter?

Excellent video, great explanation.

Do the twin RCA low level input still go to the LEF on the back of the amplifier ?

how do i install new amp for my home theater subwoofer any help will work video possibly unhooking amp and re install??? thanks

I have a older sub woofer that has a Phase dial on it connected to a Pioneer SC 1222 is there something i need to do or do I do the same with the crossover frequency and turn it to the min

My amp has LFE and speaker connection. Would it be better I use the speaker connection +- so I can use the frequency dial as well ? Thanks

Have a question: If I use the "Surround Back/Zone 2/Bi-Amp" output on my receiver YAMAHA (RXV6A) to Bi-Amp the front speakers, then can I connect the Music cast to surround output!?

On He’s burger home 8 inch poke subwoofer, what should the OBD be set at. I have mine set at -10.odb

The only video I found that is very helpful ❤❤. Thank you.

When using this setup can you still hookup speakers to this channel , or do you need to sacrifice the outputs. does the sub only uses a signal from the wires ? , i have a HQ-HT DIY sub and can't use it. So i want it in my car. ( power converter etc ) . but i want to know if i split the rear channels and connect them to the rear speakers and sub will it still work . or do the rear speakers only get half the power ?

I'm getting a SA-W2500 and I wanted to know if you have to have a specific wire for each diffrent sub or is it the same?

Hello, the setup for high level input was not clear for me. In case I have a stereo integrated amp - how exactly do I connect the sub or 2 subs to the amp provided that I want to keep the main speakers powered from the amp? Thanks

For low level input do i need to connect to both white & red or just one is fine? If just one is fine, then which one?

so if you have an amplifier with just a left and right output you can connect a subwoofer with speaker wire from the left and right straight into the subwoofer ?

can we connect sub woofer using rca an connecting the sub will it work with kv sub

Hi I have a integrated amplifier 2.1 but my subwoofer has left and right output speakers on the back my question is if I want a 3.1 can I connect the center speaker behind the subwoofer using one right channel output? Does that make sense or it will sound awful? Please explain? Thank you.

On a 2 channel system, instead of running another speaker wire from the same speaker out, to the subwoofer, can you just run a speaker wire from the speaker to the subwoofer?

Can I connect the High level input directly to passive speakers and would it work ?

Need I use in high level inputs both Channels? And with any impedancy ?

Help please 😣. I just bought a Jamo sub 200 second hand with some connection us yours the sub is working but no sound from the speakers I was wondering is I need a receiver to connect the speakers thanks

Big thanks! Very helpful

Dumb question here but what direction do the arrows on the Audioquest Irish Red subwoofer cable point when connecting a HSU VTF 15H subwoofer to a Pioneer Elite VSX AV??

I have 5.1 system of Philips. Bass not fine which is 6.5 inches. Can i cut the wires of subwoofer and install subwoofer such as 8 inch or more in another box? System is 96 watt. Can i connect passive woofer replacing inbuilt woofer of the system?

I want to connect a subwoofer to an old HK AV receiver with two Energy speakers already attached. But it'll be STRICTLY for audio (turntable) no home theater. How can I properly connect it so the bass sounds natural and not boomy? Thank you so much.

Would you mind telling me where you got the cable that you use for low level right and left input connection.

Another silly question... Would you mind to tell me if there is any possibility to connect the subwoofer of the Logitech z906 system to a receiver (Yamaha RX-V373)?. Thanks a lot in advance!!

Can you do all 3 of them??

Thank you,really clear expression

Thank you but I didn't understand what you wrote, were can I buy a amplifier, then how do I set it up.

I have a question sir,i hope you help me..i have db 502-12 amplifier 1500 watts and 550x2 speakers,and i want to install an subwoofer..how many watts of subwoofer can set up to my amplier..i hope you help me sir

Thanks for make it simple!

I don't quite understand.. Would it work if I would just connect the woofer with the left/right channel on my reciever, or can it damage the woofer?

Straight to the point daaaaaaam. 👍

Can you please tell me what should i do to run 400 wat sub woofer in 80 watt woofer kit. I neet it. Please help..

Hola Juan, te podria decir que depende de tu sistema.. yo personalemnte prefiero por linea ya que tienes control del crossover y puedes elejir que frequencias cortar.. con esto me refiero a que puedes situar la frequencia que mejor calce a tu sistema ya que puedes tener parlantes frontales que tengan ya woofers o torres que no.. LFE deberias poder controlarlas tambien desde tu amplificador si es uno descente.. en mi NAD si se puede.. Saludos desde URUGUAY

Do I plug a digital coax into the LFE ports???

I have a two channel receiver with A and B speaker selection. Currently I have two floor tower speakers on the A channel and I just ordered two matching subs. Does anyone have recommendations on how to connect the two subs? Should I run 1 tower and 1 sub on A channel and the other pair on B channel or should I run 2 towers on A and 2 subs on B?

not sure if any of you could answer this but is it possible to connect a subwoofer from a shelf system to a receiver somehow? Receiver has sub out just not sure how to connect since the cable is different. Maybe it's not possible.

Could I use the line out with one receiver and rca wire to another

Does the high level input effect the sound quality of the speakers?

I have a bit of a problem, my reciever has a output like the first one you discribed. The problem is: my sub has a cable input, like the last one you discribed. Any advise?

What happens if you only have on jack on the woofer and two on the receiver?

I've added a turntable into the mix via phono box into analogue inputs. Sub doesn't get the low level signal, any solution? All digital sources are fine. Only has one pair of inputs and speaker terminals on Wharfedale sub. Thanks.

dose your phase control matter if its a 7.2 AV receiver? they are two separate channels?

i have a single coil sub woofer (2 wires). Can I hook it up to right and left somehow to make it louder?

If you connect to the speaker cables. Does that mean that there will be 2 sets of wires for left and right. So u will connect 2 wires into the stereo left hole.... 1 set goes to the sub left and 1 set goes to the left speaker. Then the same for the right? I don't have 4 speakers outputs from the stereo you see....?

hey there, i have a question my uncle gave me a vanderbach hrs-805 home theater. the subwoofer is the receiver, everything pugs in there. it doesn't have any bass it sounds loud but no bass why? i just pluged it with a aux calble. Also on the back it has a 5.1ch input colored holes which are like for the speakers, it has 2000 watts it suppose to have bass but it doesn't can you help me solve my problem?

hi alright so im trying to do that also. i have a sub with the pos and neg on each side x2. i also have a separate speaker that has a pos and neg port. i have a cord with a pos, neg, green, and white all in one cord. how do i connect the speakers to it? or is this what you are saying not to do? i dont know if i have to have a pos and neg going to the speaker and then back to the sub with Another cord. ? please reply thx. if you dont understand my question its all good. thx though :)

So my amp has a sub channel with only two outputs a positive and a negative, how do I connect this to the subwoofer, and it’s speaker wire not rca or lfe.

Can I Bi-amp the subwoofer???? I would like to use two subwoofers with my bookshelves speakers. One sub-woofer for each channel. Can I do it safely ?

Which type is the best? What if I also have a stereo amplifier for music and for movies I'm using it as an power amplifier to my front speakers?

PERFECTLY EXPLAINED ..THANKS

can I use the low level input and output to hi level output

Help! If i buy bic america f12 sub And bookshelf speakers how would i connect them

I have a question....i recently purchased a tube preamp with 2 audio outputs. one output will be dedicated to a tube amp with a pair of 3 way speakers.The other audio output i want to use to run another tube amp to run 1 subwoofer...i do not want to use the subwoofers integrated amp because using them would defeat the purpose of the tube amp and it's sweet sound compared to ss. I have been looking for passive subwoofers but mostly all are powered. Now my question is.....can i run my tube amp to the speaker inputs of the subwoofer without using the integrated amp of the subwoofer????or would i still have to power the subwoofer using it's integrated amp???

Dumb question here...In a simple two channel set up, with a conventional two channel amp and preamp....how do I hook up the satellite speakers? Do the speaker cables attach to those binding posts on the back of the subwoofer plate amp, then run to the satellites? Thanks, M.

wow! Thanks to your informative video!

Where do you put your high level input cables on the reciever ? In the front (Left or right ) Center output, or the surround inputs ? I can`t find a subwoofer input fitting those cablers. Only RCA, but my sub doesnt support that.

Nice video , and answered my doughts

good info , appreciated .tks

Say I have to table top speakers is subwoofer and a amplifier how would I hook all is up together

Very nice Video, Thanks!

I understood that you double connect from the OLD stereo amp 1- to the usual left/right speakers and a 2-new connection on the same amp output into the "high-level input" from the Subwoofer, right? (This question is repeated NNN times in here without a clear question and an answer), cables should be same size i guess. Since your subwoofer does not have "high level out" i guess it is the only way, Right?

Can I connect my sub straight to my TV? Think my sub have a build in app.

If I put both the speaker wires into the subwoofer, then how do I reconnect them to the speakers through the subwoofer?

can anyone help I'm clueless when it comes the these things. my subwoofer had an l & r input which I have connected to my TV. but still can't figure out how to get it fired up tried going through tv settings and can't find nothing

where r u going to connect the speakers if the sub has only in high level inputs?

I have a Onkyo receiver that only has one subwoofer output that is strictly a bare wire connection (uses a small clamp where the bare wire is inserted for negative and positive). My subwoofer only has this type of connection for the "high level" with two channels and uses an rca type connection for the other one channel. How do I go about connecting this? Should I strip one side of a rca cable in order to connect it to my receiver?

What do you think about subwoofers without high level input/outputs for 2 channel systems? Are these bad sub woofer designs?
