Blakedean Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have a pair of r-41 pm speakers hooked up to a turntable, and I was just given 2.1 computer speakers with a sub, and I want to hook the sub up to the speakers hooked up to the turntable. The back of the speakers have a round sub out port, but the sub just has a power plug and a port saying pre-amp in, i can not figure out how to hook these up, is this possible to do?

Peter P. Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If the "Pre Amp In" connection on the sub is an RCA jack (I can't tell because the cable is plugged in to it), here's what you do: I assume each satellite has a "Sub Out" RCA jack as seen in the photo. You will run a single RCA cable from each satellite "Sub Out" to a "Y" adapter. It sums the left and right signals. Then plug that single connection in to the "Pre Amp In" on the sub, assuming it's an RCA female connection. You may have to get a male/female gender changer somewhere in that hookup, but they're easily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response, but on the sub “pre amp in” has a plug that I’m not familiar that I took a picture of Its is not rca, but any idea on how to connect it or even what type of plug this is.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish. You have a Promedia set with 2 satellites and a sub. You also have a stand alone sub with 2 seperate speakers. What is your source. What would you ultimately want hooked up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P. Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I think that's called a DIN connector and there's really no standard pinout on them. I'm not aware of any adapter for that connector so I believe, unfortunately, you won't be able to hook up the computer sub to the powered speakers.

DaveSA Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hello I have the klipsch’s R41’s hooked up to a NAD D3020 v2 and a Sony Bluetooth turntable. Came across my old 2.1 pro media GMAX Computer speaker system and was wondering if I can connect the subwoofer to my current office stereo system ?
