schatten789 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have a set of Promedia 2.1 speakers that have a bad din plug. The sub would work but the left speaker would not and if you moved the dom plug it would pop. I am now using the subwoofer for my home 5.1 system. I was just running the pre amp signal from my home reciever through the pod with the volume controls since the sub still worked. I recently moved the sub and bumped the already damaged din plug and now nothing works. Is there anyway I can bypass the pod? I would like to run the preamp signal directly from my home reciever to the sub amp. I only want the subwoofer to work, I dont care about the other speakers. Is there a set of pins on the subs input that is used for the sub preamp signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schatten789 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 There is no way to bypass the volume controls and feed a preamp signal directly to the amp? I just want the sub to work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironsave Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 You should get a new DIN plug from Ebay; this forum, or Radio Shack. You kinda need that volume and sub gain knob..... My sub has these functions; why would you want to disable them? It would be a PITA to have to change sub gain on your receiver everytime you are listening/ watching something else...... It is a simple soldering job to remove and replace with a new plug...... Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schatten789 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I was trying to avoid spending any money on this. I know its only $15 shipped but if I can make it work for free then why not. Its quick and easy to adjust the subwoofer with my receiver by the remote so that isnt really a problem. I may end up buying a new plug from Mr. Clean off ebay anyway. I did try replacing the din plug with one that had 2 less wires coming out of it. I wired everything up using diagrams found here and google but bypassed the left and right signal wires. I figured i didnt care about those anyway so it wouldnt matter. Well, it wont do anything with it like that, I dont get any signal to the sub. I guess it uses those also even though the sub has its own wire? Thanks for the help.[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Clean Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I can send you a DIY repair cable for the control pod and get it to your door for $12 (USA Only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMFunTX Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Okay everyone in this forum is really aggravating. I mean really. Just answer the questions. The original poster wanted to know how to directly wire the subwoofer amp from the preamp on his receiver. And none of you gave him that answer.
