How to connect my sub?Jean-Pascal Servant
Jan 10, 2002 6:18 PM
Hi, my question is about my subwoofer, I don't know where to connect it. I'm using a RCA single to RCA single cable. With my Harman/Kardan AVR 220, the output for the sub is 1 plug. But, on the subwoofer, a Cerwin-Vega 12'', there's two input RCA plug, left and right. Where do I need to connect my cable?

Thankx :)

subs are mono, either jack on the sub is ok ( preferably the left-don't ask why) but only one needed; in some set-ups i've used the second jack to loop out to a passive sub or (at the insistance of the customer)i'll use a Y- jack

If you buy a qulity cable they come with a Y adapter. Depending on the length $75 or less for Monster...

As stated before, either L or R is fine, you MAY see a higher output if you use a Y-adapter, but that's what level controls are for.
PS: you don't need to spend $75 for Monster Cable. Just go to Radio Shack or check out AR cables - you just need a good fully sheilded cable - shouldn't be more that 30 bucks or so depending on length.
