How would you integrate a subwoofer into the system along with these speakers if your source just has RCA outputs and a line-out as 3.5mm?

Can't answer that .. we are using those speakers connected to iMac ... not using any thing else with them.

Dear Ian,Thank you for your question. The A2+ Premium has added a 3.5mmm variable output connection. Simply using a standard iPod connection cable (3.5mm to RCA left/right) will allow you to connect to a powered subwoofer. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Just connect a 3.5mm to RCA cable to the back of the woofer (receiver) and set the input to analog.

You can easily add a subwoofer to a system. There is a dedicated subwoofer out port.

Most Subwoofers only need a two wire input (built in clips). You only need these RCA connectors if the unit has a female RCA jack installed as an input (not common).

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

if your receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer outlet then you will need a special wire. it's RCA to speaker wire, and it's kinda pricey for a wire. you would have to tie into the left and right speakers, or maybe even all sides of the surround. the quality might be diminished since it's trying to push all the frequencies through the speaker, and not just the lower bass frequencies. heres a link to the wire you would need.

If you only have the Bose Acoustimass 3 III subwoofer, it must be connected to a receiver, any brand, can be stereo or 5.1, but you will only get stereo sound, not 5.1, You will need two sets of wires from the two speakers to your receiver, and two sets of wires from the two speakers to the Bose sub.I think I have the four sets of wires, that I can list on Amazon, if interested, let me know, or they nay be some listed already, you need total of four sets Bose 20" speaker wires, they have bare wires at one end, and RCA connection at the other end.

You need a subwoofer amplifier. Connect the cable out of the receiver to the sub amp, then connect the speaker wires from speaker to the sub amp.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.

I will be able to provide a definitive answer if you can provide me the model of the receiver. To get this sub working, you either need a LFE out ( a co-axial port usually available on most of the basic receivers) or a sub-woofer speaker screw-in ports. To get the most out of this sub, i would prefer LFE out to connect to the sub.

Armand S., What options do you have on the back of your audio system? RCA/3.5mm? Optical Audio? --Mr. S

You need a subwoofer cable. The receiver should have a Subwoofer out that connects directly to subwoofer with the subwoofer cable. Don't buy a Y adapter or cable.

I did not use the RCA connectors..the back of my receiver is mostly set up for my computer system. I just spliced another speaker wire into each speaker output--left and right, input and ground, and plugged the two wires from each side into their corresponding connections on the SW. It works great this way....took longer to strip the existing wires than it did to set up the sub.

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

You need a y adapter. KabelDirekt Pro Series Subwoofer Cable ( 6 feet ) / Y - RCA Cable / Digital Cable - 1 x RCA Male to 2 x RCA Male by KabelDirekt http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DI89EZI/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_pS8Vtb04PNNB4

You'll need to explain what your setup is like in more detail to get a reliable answer. What kind of receiver are you using? In general, no, you don't want to hook the bare ends of this to an existing speaker wire, and then plug this into the single RCA jack on a subwoofer. Those jacks are made for audio/instrument/signal cables, not speaker wires/cables.

I'd hook your subwoofers to your L&R; speakers usually they come with that facility or some sort of DSP or crossover which will strip out the bass frequencies and make your system run more efficiently. Never really thought about using the aux but I suppose that could work under the same principal and hook one subwoofer from the other and run your main speakers from L&R.; This assumes all are powered of course.
