Newbie here w/ my first home theater. I was wondering what cables I need to hook up my PSW10 sub to the receiver.
Here is my setup:

Panasonic 55ST50
Denon A/V 1613
Take 5 pure energy 5.1 Pack.
PS3
POLK PSW10 sub

What I have so far is:
100ft of 14g speaker wire w/ banana plugs
Coaxial Audio/Video RCA CL2 Rated Cable (Don't know if I need this, someone gave me one they didn't use)

Do I need any other cables to hook up my PSW10 to my home theater?

Thanks for any help

    Just run a single Rca cable from your sub out to the left or right input of the sub. Turn your subs crossover all of the way up then set the crossover on your reciever to 120hz.

    So just run the rca cable from my receiver out to the left or right input of the sub. But which one? Left or Right? Does it not make a difference or does it depend on if the sub is on the right or left of the TV? Sorry for the dumb question, but this is the first sub I've owned.

    Doesn't make any difference on that sub left or right input. Usually place about 1/3 the length of the wall, but really depends on the acoustics of the room. Just try different places and keep it out of the corners if possible.

    PSW enclosures are designed and engineered for perfect volume, minutely tuned for distortion-free low frequencies, and internally braced and damped to eliminate internal standing waves and other performance-robbing resonances.

    looks like a spammer in the making, im sure if he wanted to read verbatim what the polk audio description of this sub was he would have gone to the products page and not the forums
