in Subwoofer Hookup & Bass Management
I have a Polkaudio PSW110 sub woofer sitting in my basement for a long time and strange but true, I don't know how to connect it to my two years old receiver, I am fairly very handy person with electronic stuff but man, this Polky thing is a rocket science for me here. OK, my receiver has a single purple color RCA line out for sub woofer but on the PSW110 sub woofer has white and red LINE IN. It doesn't have the single hole LFE IN like in the manual. I can connect to my 20 years old yamaha receiver b/c Red and White were all it has but comon PA, we are in the 21 century. Please advise me. Thank you.

Zorro.

    yeah, what Tony says.

    what kinda receiver you got, Zorro? might have to enable the subwoofer output on it to get it to send to the sub. and then check the crossover point. 80Hz's is a good place to start, typically, depending on what else you're running, speakerwise.

    throw up some more details and we'll help you set up the whole thing if you'd like some assistance.

    I disabled signatures.

    Seeing as I own that sub, I can tell that it does have life in, and it should be the red.
