Of course, you can but don't forget to check if your device is good enough. You can read more information about rca cable and subwoofer cable to learn more about your devices. There is much basic information which also suits newbies! So, good luck

For the first time it was realy hard for me to figure things out and connect all the wires but once you find out how to do that properly you won't struggle anymore.

There are two types of sub. The first is the powered type. This has a socket that connects via a cable to your amp socket - marked sub out. Some amps have the abillty to switch this socket on or off and comtrol the output. The sub itself is mains powered.
The other sub is none powered. This requires the speaker cables to be connected to it, the bass being extracted from them, before passing the signal on to the speakers

SOURCE: locked up sub-woofer cone won't move?

In theory your idea would work, however you risk damaging your amp by reversing polarity and the positive and negative wires from your head unit are low voltage so they wont provide enough current in reverse or normal polarity to free the cone of your sub. but here is something that you can try that is similar in concept.

Take a positive lead from your head unit and wire it to the negative of your sub. Now ground the positive terminal of your sub to the vehicles chassy using a wire. This creates a 12v-14v reversed polarity current that should be strong enough to (POP) the cone so to speak. hope this helps

How do i set up my subwoofer sawm40

Sounds like you have a passive subwoofer, you run speaker wire from 'front speaker receiver out' to the subwoofer, the 'subwoofer out' to your front speakers. Seem like your sub has a crossover that grabs the bass frequencies and passes off the rest to the front speakers

If you have a 'subwoofer line out' on your reciever and a 'line in' on you subwoofer then just use that single wire, this would be for a powered sub. You know that you have a powered sub if your sub has a power cord attached to it.

We have a jvc home theater surround sound system and the subwoofer just stopped working. the model number for the sub is sp-pwc30 and we want to just replace the subwoofer any ideas how to get one?

Depending of the type of Subwoofer that required your system.

A) Amplified Subwoofer. (With 110volts A.C. cord attached to the sub)
The subwoofer electronics circuit needs repair or change.
You will find a compatible subwoofer for this type of subwoofer in audio appliance stores.

B)Not amplified Subwoofer (No 110volts A.C. cord attached to the sub)

Bring your sound system to a technician to have the soldering remaked to the devices bolted on the main heatsink.
And have the Subwoofer checked too.

This type of subwoofer can mostly be buy in kit with the satellites speakers.
And need to match thee impedance of the output of your system.

Search for ( 4 ohm or 6 ohm 8 ohm ) near the Sub outlet behind your system.

How do I wire the speakers to tuner and then to subwoofer?

depending on the subwoofer you have there are several ways to do this.

If you have an amplified subwoofer and a receiver with a sub out then just run a RCA cable from the sub out to the input on the sub. depending on the sub you may need a Y adapter to provide a signal to both the left and the right input.

if your sub has high level (speaker terminals) for inputs AND outputs you can use speaker wire from the receivers front speaker terminals to the sub and then from the sub to the speakers. You would use this same process if your sub does not have a built in amplifier.

Take note that if you do use the receivers subwoofer output its often necessary to turn that output on using the receivers on screen menu.

Hope that helps

Which is the best way to hook up a Subwoofer?

Last two questions first - YES, use an RCA splitter to share sub line level out between two subs and use one at the subwoofer end to share that line with both inputs on the sub.

Either attachment scheme you describe would work.

Not being a big fan of conversion/deconversion for no real purpose, I would avoid stepping the high-level input down to line level for use by the sub's internal amp, run RCA to the sub(s) and keep them physically and electrically independent of anything else unless cable routing is facilitated somehow by daisy-chaining other speakers from the sub(s).

I have the klipsch sub-10 subwoofer, making noise after use

it sounds like the sub is rubbing in the voice coil.
put the speaker in upside down to what it was before.
sometimes that extra bit of downward pull is enough to offset the error.
There are speaker reconing experts out there but it is cheaper to replace the sub itself.
the sub can be replaced for sure.

HI,go into the yam setup menu and make sure you have the sub turned on and cross over set to about 80hrtz if this suits your speakers,set sub level to about -5 on amp and say half way on the sub,this should work if not pull out sub cable at amp and touch the end,you should get a hum,if not you may have no power,faulty cable or sub.
PS>make sure you are pluged into the sub PRE OUT and NOT the six channel in.
Hope this helps.

Can't get my Accurian subwoofer to work

Sounds like you have everything hooked up properly. Make sure the outlet is providing AC power to the sub. Check the power switch on the sub.

If it is not working still; bring it back and swap it for another one before you warranty runs out.

Sony Active Subwoofer noise

The circuit that should be turning the sub on and off based upon the presence of an audio signal is not working correctly and the sub is trying to reproduce 60 cycle hum. The unit needs service.
