    New yamaha Reciever - Big Problems

    Ya i tried that. I get bass out of just the Fronts with that setup. No bass on any other channel, and i tried a lot of different modes. I would actually be happy with that setup if i could use my subwoofer as well, but as soon as i set it to both the bass on the mains quit. I think i...

    Ok i tried plugging in just the woofers. Tried both wire configurations and nothing. Changing it from Small or Large speakers does nothing. Setting the LFE channel to front does something, but then as soon as i set it to both back to nothing. THe woofers are definately capable of bass...

    Ok i'll try that right away just. I just assumed the solid color wire was positive and the one with black stripe was negative. I'll try plugging in just the subs. And as for who told me that, i called the Canadian Tech Support number and got transfered to some guy in the repair room.

    Well my RCA amp just won't send a low frequency out to the speakers. It came in a set with 5 Satelites and a Non powered sub. I upgraded the speakers though. I think it has a set crossover for the satelites that cant be bypassed. The speakers i have now are JVC, they have an 8" Sub, 2 Drivers...
