This question is similar to the one posted by Jonathan. My problem is with connecting my subwoofer to the receiver. I have a Sony STR-DE545 5.1 surround system. Outputs on back are for L&R front, L&R rear, center, all with red/black spring clips to connect speaker wires. Also on receiver back is a circular output jack which looks like a mono RCA connector marked "subwoofer".
My speaker system is a Bose Acoustimass. On the rear of the Acoustimass subwoofer, the speaker connections are for left and right channel only (input & output), with no other inputs for the subwoofer connection from the RCA jack on rear of receiver. I get some bass sound from the Acoustimass, but not much.
At present, I have the front L&R speakers going to the subwoofer, then to their respective front L&R speakers from subwoofer. The center speaker is wired directly from the center speaker output on the receiver to the center speaker. The two rear speakers are both wired directly from receiver to their respective speakers.
The audio test on the receiver scans each channel and makes a audible sound on each speaker except the subwoofer. The receiver display shows the test begins with the subwoofer (no sound) then to front left, center, front right, rear right, and rear left all WITH sound from their respective speaker.
Any suggestions on how to get the Acoustimass subwoofer to project decent bass would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
