asyrp43 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I recently built a new house and they ran speaker wires for my rear speakers and the sub. On the back of my reciever I have an output for the sub with only one wire connection. The speaker wire has a red and white to connect to the sub. Do I run both wires together and plut them into the sub output? Thanks for any feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Check your receiver manual, but the subwoofer connection on the back of the receiver probably accepts an RCA plug. If you're using a powered sub, you'll need to put an RCA plug on the leads from the sub, keeping in mind the proper polarity of the connection, meaning positive (+) on the sub should be connected to positive on the receiver. Twisting both wires together and poking them into the receiver connection won't give you any sound, but might make some sparks. This would be a bad thing for you and your electronics.
