Connecting an old amplifier to a new subwoofer

[mmc]

Hello-

I am new to the forum. So, if this issue has already been addressed, I apologize.

I just purchased a new Rw10-d subwoofer on the internet. We have an old receiver 5-channel receiver that accommodates an A & B set of speakers with r/l +/- connections, and rca jacks for r/l rear speakers and a center speaker. However, I didn't realize that there wasn't an in and out set of jacks on the sub. The receiver doesn't have any LFE or sub specific output.

My question is, can I use this old amp with this new sub? And, if I can, how do I connect the sub

Thanks for the help-

mmc

Is there any preouts for the main speakers or just for rear & center ?

If you have preouts for the main use those.

Not that I can tell-there are just +/- for L/R for the two sets of main speakers. No pre out however, there are R/L (red/white) lines out for tape and video recording. Would those work to providde a signal to the sub?

No

Does your subwoofer amp have high level inputs ?

Many subs have speaker input and output terminals. This allows you to connect the speaker output wire from your receiver to the input terminals on the sub (look like speaker connections). Then you connect the speaker wire outputs from the sub to the main speakers.

Some subs do not have speaker inputs (high level inputs, as referred to above). Consult the manual.
