my reciever has sub out but in speaker wire, not lfe out, my sub is active has lfe input, can i use this cable to hook my sub to the reciever safely?

I don't know about "safely," but no, this is not what you want. If your receiver has a single RCA output jack for a sub, it wants to see an audio/instrument/signal cable, not a speaker wire/cable. If your subwoofer has speaker-level ins, then you want to connect them to the speaker jacks on your receiver with a speaker wire. If your sub has a single RCA-style LFE input, it wants to see a (shielded) audio cable, not a speaker cable, and it should be connected to the sngle sub/LFE output on a receiver. It sounds like you are trying to mix signal types here because your receiver doesn't have the kind of output that your sub needs, and you don't want to do that.

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.

I actually just wired it into the B Channel connections and have had no problems...works great and that was the easiest way of wiring it. so, my speakers are in the A, the sub is in the B and I just flip the switch to A&B.; Hope that helps.

That unit is not really designed with a subwoofer output however you could use the Pre out to send the signal to the sub but it will send all the frequencies to it along with sub frequencies. The other way is to use hi level in and out from the raw wire speaker outs. This acts as a pass through and carries the signal through the sub and out onto your speakers.

The speakers are standard wiring so they shouldn't be an issue with your prewiring. As for the sub, nothing appeared to be different, however, could not say for sure since I don't know your prewire configuration. As a side note, I recommend a Harmon Kardon reciever so the sub can be turned off when the system is turned off. We currently have a pioneer reciever and we have to manually shut off the reciever.

Are you trying to use this as an input to the Sub, or an output from the sub to the PA? I am using a RCA to 3.5 mm cable as input from another source to the sub, and then the sub's low level output to monitors, and that works fine. All of those are low level, though. If you are inputting TO the sub from the PA, i would think it would have to be non amplified signal or damage could occur. I'm not sure if the stereo link feature on that PA is low level or not.

I have the LFE output of my soundbar plugged into the transmitter and the receiver plugged into the LFE input on my sub. Not sure about two subs if they are in separate parts of the room but you can split the LFE output on the receiver to two subs if they are close together.

I use mine for the subwoofer so it is between the receiver and the sub amp - no problem. If you want to use it on an amplified channel then you will need a receiver that has a processor loop.

In theory yes, a regular rca cable can be used to connect a subwoofer to a receiver...but...as someone who tied it, I would not recommend using this cable for that purpose. The subwoofer has frequencies that a true subwoofer cable carries. Spend a bit more money and purchase a true subwoofer cable (in Amazon search: Monster subwoofer cabke). BTW In some connections the rca cable (left or right cabke doesn't matter) will not transmit any audio to the sub.

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

there are different ways to wire it, if your receiver has a sub-out plug on it just get a powered subwoofer cable and plug into either r or l on the woofer. Does not matter which one. hope this helps.

There is a set of RCA outputs for your subs, the purple antenna wire is the remote for the amp, there is a remote control connector, the remote control you have to buy separate , speaker wires and amp wiring are also separate... If you are replacing an existing receiver just reuse the old wiring to those speakers and such

Its odd that what Pioneer told you works.It doesn't correspond with what the manual says at all.Are you guys connecting the sub with the subwoofer pre-out (LFE--sub with an amp) or are you connecting an unpowered sub with regular speaker wires?I have a powered subwoofer on the way. I guess I'll see if I have to do the same.

Any subwoofer occupies a single "channel" from the receiver - one that combines the low bass outputs from right and left channels. Thus, one standard cable is usually sufficient. Do check the rear panel of your receiver/home entertainment power unit. It should have one output receptable labeled "subwoofer" or something similar. That is where the plug from the speaker goes. Since bass frequencies are not localized by our ears, there is no need for 2 subwoofers or separate cables to connect them. If the subwoofer has separate input jacks for the right and left channels (labeled and usually color coded) - which is very unlikely - you would need two such cables, plugged into the auxiliary R and L low level outputs from your receiver's pre-amp outputs (labeled)!

Not sure what u mean but make sure there is sub cable input for the receiver and subwoofer. Some older subs use speaker wire instead.

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers
