In the case where you've got an amplifier that you need to hook up to the subwoofer, you're going to use what's called the high-level connections, and these are identical to the speaker connections that you would use on a typical amplifier. So the question then is, how can you hook up your subwoofers? In case you're not using a home theater receiver processor and have a stereo system or two channel system with an integrated amplifier or a dedicated preamp and amplifier, obviously, you're not going to find this dedicated subwoofer output in almost all cases with those electronics. If you have a multi jack, it plugs into the same connector that held the RCA adapter, and if you have a version with a dedicated XLR input, it simply plugs into that input there. ![]() In the case that you've got an XLR subwoofer output on your processor, it's exactly the same as the RCA connection. It's typically found on higher-end equipment and it gives you the benefit of being able to run longer runs of these cables with lower noise and interference. On some home theater processors, you're going to find a different connection as an option, which is called an XLR connection. If you don't have one of these multi jacks on your subwoofer, you'll have just the standard RCA jack, and it's just a matter of plugging into the RCA that's labeled low level input. If you have one of those amplifiers, you simply plug the adapter in and then you plug the other end of your RCA cable from your receiver's sub out into that input connection, and now, the subwoofer is connected. Now, depending on what vintage of our subwoofer that you own, you may have a multi plug which requires a quarter phone to RCA adapter, which is included with the subwoofer. On most receivers, there is going to be one sub output, on some there'll be two, but you're simply going to plug your RCA cable into that sub out on your receiver or processor, and then the other end is going to connect to your subwoofer. Most of the time you're going to find a common connection called an RCA connection. ![]() Once that is done, go to the back of your home theater receiver or processor and locate the output labeled sub out. You're not necessarily going to damage anything, but it can cause some startling bangs and noises if things are not right. The first thing that we should mention is before you make any connections to your system, it's a good idea to make sure that the power is off to the receiver and to the subwoofer. One question we get a lot is about connecting your subwoofer.Ĭonnecting a subwoofer is not very difficult, particularly as most home theater receivers have got dedicated subwoofer outputs on them.
