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!
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.
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.
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)
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
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.
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....?
Great instruction. God bless you. Please make more videos. How do you connect unpowered speakers to the powered woofer Thanks for your great instruction. How do I connect my speakers to a powered woofer. God bless you /
Why don't you show where to connect each of these types of connections on the amplifier? What good is this video without showing them? Connection type two....the red and white rca plugs for instance. Where do you connect them on the amp? Tape the rca ends on top with duct tape and hope for the best? Or look for the aux watch that reads "aux duct tape input"?
SBJ because every receiver is different. Everything is labeled or at least should be on a reciver. As far as connecting if you don't have a sub out port you should use the RCA output which is the red and white. Or use the speaker out connectors if they only connect via speaker wire.
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 ?
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?
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?
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
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?
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?
I thought you could hook speakers to back and hook your phone into the red and white and use it that way. Thought this kind of sub took out the need of a receiver or amp.
Hi, everyone! So I have been using our home theater for a year now. I'm currently studying DC circuits on a Computer Engineering program so that's why I have a less knowledge on impedance matching. The scenario is that the home theater runs 5.1 channels with the port of subwoofer rated at 4 ohms. The current subwoofer is a 4-ohm subwoofer at 250 watts. What does it mean by the watt rating of the speaker when the total output power of the amplifier is 1000? The case is that I feel that the subwoofer does not give that much bass. So I'm planning on upgrading my subwoofer to a 14 inch from a 10 inch. I found a 14 inch subwoofer on our nearby appliance store and have it tested. I was beyond satisfied by the bass it gave. The 14 inch subwoofer is rated at 300 watts at 8 ohms. My question is: What exactly will happen if I'll hook it up to my receiver? Will it sound the same as to what I felt on the store? Will it burn the amplifier? Or somewhat, the speaker(the planning to buy, 14 inch)? It's Pioneer that already has a casing. Take note that this subwoofer is a powered one like the one that is shown in this video. The one that is needed to be plugged. A detailed help to my problem is very much appreciated, guys. :) Advanced thanks to you and cheers for your knowledge on impedance matching. :)
I have always heard about running fronts like this simce imknew anything home thester but was laz asf lok i always just used my left LF signal only always th i ught sounded ok its my bedrooms sound klipsch towers i ran my older Onkyo LF/RF woofer sent both Front channels straight from outlet woofer high level to towers sounds Day and Night i kno ima rookie not gonna lie im learning, Man guys ima high asf happy sunday enjoy blessings!
I need help to fix a problem with my sub, I plug the low level to my ampli subwoofer output and I still have no sound, the source it's a movie or ps3 games, with a test for 5.1 system on ps3 game, I have the sub sound on my central channel..how it's possible? my system. studio lab 5.1 mosquito and my amplifier Jvc.. thanks all for any tips!
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!!
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
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
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.
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
The subwoofer needs a source, so you can simply run wires from another speaker which is close to the subwoofers location, or run wire from the receiver directly to the subwoofer.
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.

+Michael McDonald I agree with this comment!
plus no crappy music
I know, I cant stand that, Some intros are so long with loud techno music.
My front speakers do have sub woofers in them. Why would I need another sub woofer
Agree! Direct to the point yes thank you.
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.
Very well explained.
I was clueless before this video!!
THANKS FOR THE INFO.
Thank you very much for your video. You really answered all my questions regarding the subwoofer setup. Please continue with your excellent work.
Thanks. Well explained and concise. Just great for newbies like me.
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.
*short, sharp breath*
Immediate explanation.
Love it.
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.
oh MAN thank you!.
You explained everything a lot better than my klipsch subwoofer's manual!
Now I know what everything does, thanks!
Thanks a bunch. I was unaware not using the frequency dial when using LFE (until now)
LFE means low frequency effect, it's a channel in movie soundtracks only, not used in music 2 channel stereo.
Short and sweet. This is the best! Thank you!
Brilliant Straightforward Review! Thank you very much!
Great videos, I see most of the subs nowadays use the RCA inputs/outputs
Very helpful, having purchased a used sub with no manual. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much you guys. My sub hooked right up and the system sounds great!
Very clear and helpful presentation! Thank you
Thank you. Man, just got a dcm tb1212 at Christy's auction for twenty bucks!!! Dual 12 inch subs!! Thing is ridiculous!!!
how can i connect my twice sony subwoofer using the black red cable ...??
Great explanation! Thanks for sharing. I'm a home theatre newby.
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,really clear expression
PERFECTLY EXPLAINED ..THANKS
It doesnt matter where the phase button is set? What did you smoke before doing this video?
The only video I found that is very helpful ❤❤. Thank you.
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....?
The only thing I ask is which one would you prefer and which one would deliver the best quality out of the three
Have a question.Does the bass control on my receiver affect the sub out or just the speaker outs?
It does
Straight to the point daaaaaaam. 👍
can we connect sub woofer using rca an connecting the sub will it work with kv sub
how do i install new amp for my home theater subwoofer any help will work video possibly unhooking amp and re install??? thanks
Thanks for make it simple!
Nice vid, it would help alot of you showed both sides of the cord though lol
Big thanks! Very helpful
great video thanks for not ranting, but where could I buy that amplifier alone? please and thankbyou
Great instruction. God bless you. Please make more videos. How do you connect unpowered speakers to the powered woofer
Thanks for your great instruction. How do I connect my speakers to a powered woofer. God bless you

Can you do all 3 of them??
good info , appreciated .tks
Why don't you show where to connect each of these types of connections on the amplifier? What good is this video without showing them? Connection type two....the red and white rca plugs for instance.

Or you can read the owners manual for your stuff
If the amp doesn't have a subout, can only RCA cables connect the amp's RCA output into the Subwoofer's RCA input for both left and right?
wow! Thanks to your informative video!
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 ?
Would you mind telling me where you got the cable that you use for low level right and left input connection.
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?
Nice video , and answered my doughts
Cheers pal, just double checking, good vid.
Very helpful information
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?
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?
Is it better to use speaker wire connection or the red and white connection?
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?
Nice and simple
helpful ...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
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?
Very nice Video, Thanks!
Do the twin RCA low level input still go to the LEF on the back of the amplifier ?
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?
I thought you could hook speakers to back and hook your phone into the red and white and use it that way. Thought this kind of sub took out the need of a receiver or amp.

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.
My receiver has lfe input but my sub doesn't. How should I connect it?
can I use the low level input and output to hi level output
You just forget something man, what you have in the other extremity of the cable? how to connect the amplifier???
Exactly
I have always heard about running fronts like this simce imknew anything home thester but was laz asf lok i always just used my left LF signal only always th i ught sounded ok its my bedrooms sound klipsch towers i ran my older Onkyo LF/RF woofer sent both Front channels straight from outlet woofer high level to towers sounds Day and Night i kno ima rookie not gonna lie im learning,
Man guys ima high asf happy sunday enjoy blessings!
Does the high level input effect the sound quality of the speakers?
Yup
I need help to fix a problem with my sub, I plug the low level to my ampli subwoofer output and I still have no sound, the source it's a movie or ps3 games, with a test for 5.1 system on ps3 game, I have the sub sound on my central channel..how it's possible? my system. studio lab 5.1 mosquito and my amplifier Jvc.. thanks all for any tips!
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?
Very good video!
Do I plug a digital coax into the LFE ports???
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!!
Nice work
Excellent guy!!!!
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
Thanks bro.. bery good video...
Good Information!
Thank You!
thanks - useful.
If I put both the speaker wires into the subwoofer, then how do I reconnect them to the speakers through the subwoofer?
On He’s burger home 8 inch poke subwoofer, what should the OBD be set at. I have mine set at -10.odb
What happens if you only have on jack on the woofer and two on the receiver?
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
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
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?
good idea
Like asking what car is best. It would depend on why you need it, and how you're going to use it.
i have a single coil sub woofer (2 wires). Can I hook it up to right and left somehow to make it louder?
Did it wirk
dose your phase control matter if its a 7.2 AV receiver? they are two separate channels?
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.
I had the same problem. Check your speaker settings and select "small speakers" that worked for me.
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
where r u going to connect the speakers if the sub has only in high level inputs?
The subwoofer needs a source, so you can simply run wires from another speaker which is close to the subwoofers location, or run wire from the receiver directly to the subwoofer.

What if your receiver has a SUBWOOFER PRE OUT, but my actual subwoofer doesnt have an LFE ? it just has low level input/output L and R
Yes teriffic i worked it out. I had a fair idea but somehow i was confused with the single LFE connection compared to the others :)
Thanks for sharing, good i nformation.
