SB-1 Subwoofer (Only) Hookup to Amp
Options
I bought a solo SB-1 subwoofer, no soundbar, used. I'm trying to connect it to the preamp RCA subwoofer output of my AV receiver. So far, trying an RCA converter to either a stereo or mono 3.5mm plug does not work in the subwoofer's input jack. The plug fits, but when powered up it makes no sound.
I have another subwoofer that works when hooked up this way.
Any ideas for using the SB-1's input jack? (I can't connect it via wi-fi.)

He confirmed that the input connection was a standard 3.5mm mono connection.

It connects to the Polk Soundbar wirelessly. It won't work any other way.
The system also requires high-speed Internet, Wi-Fi router and an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet. -
Thank you.
It has a jack labeled "Sub Input." I'm trying to use it. -
Hello,
Welcome to the Polk forum. Let me check with a product specialist at Polk for you. I'll probably get a response on Monday, hang in there. -
I heard back from Polk and yes, that should be a functioning line level input.

Interesting as that is not what the Net says.

Appeared to be official Polk info. -
Thank you, Selenium Falcon. Thanks also to whoever helped you.
The input jack doesn't seem to work whether I use a mono or stereo 3.5mm. (I do get lights when I power the amp, and the same wire hookup does work on an existing subwoofer.)
Could the Polk jack require something different from a mono/stereo 3.5mm? -

I know. -
I'm not sure, I'll ask what is required.
