Sub connection: Can anyone confirm if the sub has a coax connector on back of it that goes to seperate receiver or is it speaker wire that plugs to back of sub?

Just to clarify the sub input is line input via RCA plug. Not to be confused with other coax connectors.

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.

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.

No. It has a port for subwoofer cable, and jacks for regular speaker wire, either way you'll need to hardwire it to your receiver.

No it is just the receiver, I purchased also a polk audio speaker set with sub and it works great!

The receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.

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.

Thing is that the subwoofer needs to be active , most (or all for what I know) receivers dont send energy thru coax just the signal of sound , like in my case , and did nothing , so i had yo put an amp in between the speaker and receiver

No, it's passive. Take your left and right speaker wires from receiver to the sub, then go from the sub to your left and right speakers. Hope that helps!

You need one subwoofer cable to go from the sub to the back of the receiver.

I don't understand your question--you speak of connecting one regular speaker wire to these rca connections, but this _is_ the speaker wire, so it sounds as if you're asking about connecting a speaker wire to the speaker wire. This product is only used to connect speakers that have a single rca input on the back to a receiver, so on one end of each wire there's a male rca jack, and on the other there's two strands of bare copper wire that you connect to the positive and negative terminals on the back of your receiver. The rca jack does not plug into the receiver, as there's only one rca plug per wire--so if you're looking for speaker wire with rca plugs on the receiver end, this isn't the right product for you.

Yes, you need an AV cable to connect your subwoofer to your receiver. An AV cable is the best way to go.

Hello Louise, Buy a sub that has Speaker level inputs and outputs on the back ( many polk, sony, bic etc. do). Simply install right and left speaker wires to the amp as you normally would for regular speakers. Then conect those wires to the r/l speaker INPUT on the back of the sub. Then run seperate wires from the r/l OUTPUT on sub to your speakers. Works and sounds great! Hope this helps. S

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.

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.
