Acoustic Audio RWSUB-8: How do you connect it to your "sub" output? This has line inputs for right and left. Do you just connect one or look elsewhere

If your audio interface has only a single RCA line out for sub pre-amp, use the provided RCA splitter to split the single line to a "right/left".

Do not jack in. Wire in & out from left & right front channels. This allows you to adjust your response. Jacks are controled by the receiver.

1/8" to stereo XLR cable goes into the A and B ins (I'm assuming you do A=Left B=R, but it's up to you) on the subwoofer. Then an XLR cable goes from the A out on the sub to the in on the left Eon, another XLR cable goes from the B out on the sub to the in on the right Eon. Make sure the switch on the back is set on HPF.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

I don't remember what the back of the unit looks like because the piece of garbage is in it's box up on one of the shelves. If it has 2 jacks on the back and you only have 1 plug on your subwoofer, you may have to find a cable splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs. You can probably find one where ever electronics assessories are sold and it will not cost very much. If you do purchase another subwoofer, then 1 input will be for the left side and 1 input for the right. At least that's how it is on my Onkyo receiver I purchased to replace the Sony STRDH820 receiver that constantly broke down that Sony claimed nothing was wrong with and could not fix or replace. Good luck with your unit. I still "MAKE BELIEVE" that I did not get ripped off with mine.

Run your inputs like normal. Switch the amp to bridge and run your single speak-on or banana cable out the output marked Bridge. Keep in mind this amp does not have a built in crossover and you will be sending full range to your sub

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.

Yes, you'll need to buy a cable. They're very cheap at Amazon. Just make sure it's long enough. If there are two inputs, one right and one left, you'll need a 'Y' adapter at the subwoofer I'm not sure 'cause mine is boxed up. A r/l input will work with one cable, just connect it to the 'sub out' jack from your receiver and plug it into the 'R' input on the sub.

If you have rca inputs and output cables use the Audio inputs red is right white is left to connect to the amp

Sorry I have no idea, I use the Emotiva Stealth 8 speakers which do not require subs and I never felt the need to find out if you could use the RCA outputs for sub woofers.

I have not noticed any difference. I initially had it connected with a Y splitter now just a single cable connected to the Left per the documentation. All is well and am extremely happy with the sound and performance of this sub.

No, you would just hook the one rca connection to either the left or right sub input. YOu will be perfectly fine. This would be what everyone with a mono sub out on their A/V receiver does and it is perfectly normal. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't know the answer for that. You need to check on your receiver or pre-amp's manual, but if you want to use only one sub-woofer than you don't need this kind of cable, what you need is a straight forward cable. I don't think your receiver is designed for doing that. I have two sub outs on my receiver for the purpose to use two separate sub-woofer so you can put one on each side of the room or one in the front one in the back at your surround speakers. I don't recommend you to do that, you should never mix signals. This cable is designed for if you have a sub and does not have a LFE input but has inputs for left and right than you connect the double Y part to the sub and the single end to your pre-out. Also you can contact with Mediabridge they have excellent technical support. Good luck and don't do it!!!

I use a single cable between the receiver subwoofer connection and the Line Level In LFE subwoofer connection. Works great for my setup. You can always buy another cable if this does not work for you.

Correction to my previous response. Still plug into L/RFE female plug on subwoofer. Forget the adaptor. It's been a while since I installed mine. You need a subwoofer cable. It is a different size than RCA jack. I am 100% sure this is what you need to do. You can actually order a subwoofer cable on Amazon if you can't find one locally. 7 or 8 dollars.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

Are you trying to put this at the output of an amplifier? You may end up with a low impedance problem which can load down the output of an amplifier and cause things to get hot and burn up. Remember, this is a mono cable. You do not have "left & "right". Just "left mono" only, even though it's a "Y" split. If your amplifier wants to see 8 ohms (speaker) and you put 4 ohms instead (that is, two speakers wired in parallel), you can damage your amp.
