Hi, I recently purchased a new receiver, speakers, and got a hand me down subwoofer from a friend that I cannot figure out how to connect. My receiver is fairly new. It is a DENON AVR 788. It has a Pre-Out Subwoofer plug. The speaker is a Polk Audio Surround Bar that is a single bar that I have connected to the receiver. My subwoofer is a friend's old one. It is a KLH Audio Systems Bassbite II. I do not know where to plug in the cable from the receiver. It has the following plugs: - Red and White Left and Right "Low Level Input" - Traditional speaker wire inputs. There is right and left that says "From Amplifier" and another Right and Left that says "to the speakers" - There is no single RCA jack like the RCA jack for the Subwoofer Out on the receiver. Does anyone know how I connect these all together? Thank you.
Hi, you need to get a "Y" converter and take the sub out from the receiver and "double" the output into 2. Then take the 2 RCA ends (of the "Y") and plug them into the low level imputs of the subwoofer. Thats it ! Merry Christmas ! Jo
Jo, Thanks so much for your response. Just to confirm, I think you said that I need to get something like the following. One splitter is "mono" and the other is "stereo" -- which one do I need? http://www.cablesforless.com/p-131-stereo-splitter-6-inch-female-35mm-plug-to-2x-male-rca-plugs.aspx http://www.cablesforless.com/p-129-mono-splitter-6-inch-female-rca-plug-to-2x-male-rca-plugs.aspx Also on top of this, do I need to buy a RCA subwoofer cable, or can I just use one of the cables in the usual red, white, yellow RCA combo? Thanks again!
