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.
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)
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.
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.
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 ?
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?
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!!
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 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!
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?
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.
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 /
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 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 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 :)
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?
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!?
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
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.
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.
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!
+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
oh MAN thank you!.
You explained everything a lot better than my klipsch subwoofer's manual!
Now I know what everything does, 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.
Very well explained.
I was clueless before this video!!
THANKS FOR THE INFO.
Short sweet and straight to the point. Thank you so much.
Thanks. Well explained and concise. Just great for newbies like me.
*short, sharp breath*
Immediate explanation.
Love it.
12 years old video but none of recent video could beat your video, very helpful thanx a lot
Thank you very much for your video. You really answered all my questions regarding the subwoofer setup. Please continue with your excellent work.
Great videos, I see most of the subs nowadays use the RCA inputs/outputs
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)
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.
Brilliant Straightforward Review! Thank you very much!
Short and sweet. This is the best! Thank you!
Thanks so much you guys. My sub hooked right up and the system sounds great!
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.
Great explanation! Thanks for sharing. I'm a home theatre newby.
how can i connect my twice sony subwoofer using the black red cable ...??
Very helpful, having purchased a used sub with no manual. Thanks!!!
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.
Finally a video easy to understand thanks
Thank you! Exactly what I needed
Excellent video, great explanation.
how do i install new amp for my home theater subwoofer any help will work video possibly unhooking amp and re install??? thanks
Can you do all 3 of them??

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

Thank you,really clear expression
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 ?
The only thing I ask is which one would you prefer and which one would deliver the best quality out of the three
Thank you. Man, just got a dcm tb1212 at Christy's auction for twenty bucks!!! Dual 12 inch subs!! Thing is ridiculous!!!
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?
Straight to the point daaaaaaam. 👍
Thanks for make it simple!
Nice video , and answered my doughts
Have a question.Does the bass control on my receiver affect the sub out or just the speaker outs?
It does
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?
good info , appreciated .tks
My receiver has lfe input but my sub doesn't. How should I connect it?
Do the twin RCA low level input still go to the LEF on the back of the amplifier ?
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!!
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?

Very nice Video, Thanks!
can I use the low level input and output to hi level output
Do I plug a digital coax into the LFE ports???
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?
wow! Thanks to your informative video!
Very good video!
dose your phase control matter if its a 7.2 AV receiver? they are two separate channels?
Excellent guy!!!!
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?
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.
Nice and simple
Is it better to use speaker wire connection or the red and white connection?
Ifthe YST315 does not have a phase switch you can reverse the signal trough the receiver subwoofer menu
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

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
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.
Good Information!
helpful ...thanks
What happens if you only have on jack on the woofer and two on the receiver?
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?
Thanks bro.. bery good video...
Does the high level input effect the sound quality of the speakers?
Yup
i am buying a polk audio psw10, and was wondering i could hook it up to my Xbox or even my PC
Nice work
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.
Cool hands on the bass knob
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 :)

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!?
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
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.
