Can I connect a sub directly to unit (in addition to L and R)?

No, I had to hook it through my home theater system to get a sub - but the sound is terrific!

Michael, First you would need a subwoofer that can accept speakerwire and has speakerwire outputs. Second, you would connect the speakerwire from the Sony to the subwoofer , and then connect speakerwire from the subwoofer to the left/right speakers. Eric C

The RCA output jack is for the subwoofer only. L, R, center, and surround L&R are simple bare wire hook up. Yes, you will need to wire in a RCA jack for the sub. Shielded cables are always better with any audio application.

As far as I know you only need a sub out from the receiver to connect. Google the sub and your receiver for complete instructions. That's what I did to figure out how I needed to connect mine.

My understanding is that this unit does not work with a sub. I believe there is a different unit that works with a sub.

Wire your speakers normal. But drop the resistance on the sub. It should push it no problem

Sure you could connect it to any watt system.. It itself isn't amplified so cannot hurt any system.. And I believe this one does not have balanced XLR out's,so you'd want to get two DI(Direct In boxes) and use two 1/4-Inch cables from the main out to the DI's..

You can if your subwoofer has "speaker level" inputs. Many subwoofers do, just check the specifications.

I'm not really sure,I don't have a sub attached,so I don't really recall if it had that output wiring.

The unit converts your right and left speaker outputs from your stereo into a right /left rca +/- jacks. I suppose you could just connect one of your right/left speaker outs to the unit and run that same channel to a powered subwoofer input.

It won't matter. If there are two (left and right) lines into the sub's built in amp, they are wired in parallel.But, if you have two subwoofer/l.f.e. outputs from your receiver, you might want to use both of them to give you the strongest input voltage to the sub. I don't see how using a "y" adapter to go into both inputs could possibly hurt though. It just wouldn't accomplish anything.

"no" you only have to use the positive red input , in the back of your subwoofer . so if you have a double white & red rca cable ? just use positive output ( red ) out from receiver to red input on subb.!! red to red !! one cable is all you need !!

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.

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.

BTW - only the sub is from the old system. I have a set of Yamaha's for the r/c/l set-up. :)

The subwoofer will connect with the standard woofer RCA plug. I don't know about the other devices. Bob

If you use the L + R input on the back of the sub the unit will sum the input and create a mono signal for the amp. The sub out on the receiver is a mono signal already all you need is one RCA cable to connect to the sub. On most powered subs the one connection would be to the R input, but double check with the subs instruction info. The signal coming out of both sub outputs is mono. The second output is for hooking up second sub.

You can probably get away with just the one rca out, but you should go to the Polk website - they have a lot of technical info there on connecting a subwoofer in your system.
