Howdy all,
I have a Sony STR-DE545 Receiver and just bought a Sony SA-WM40 SubWoofer. I connected it using the RCA cable. When I tested it out, I can't really hear (or feel) anything from the sub unless I have the volume (of the sub) set to Maximum.
Just looking for advice on what might be wrong. Is it better to connect the sub via the Speaker wires using the sub as a pass-through or is the dedicated RCA cable the best way to go since the Receiver has a built in Sub output jack. I'm not sure on the quality of the cables supplied with the sub (probably low quality) but would that make a difference in this situation?
When I'm sitting right next to the sub with my hand on the front screen, I can't hear of feel any vibratiosn unless it's all the way up to max. I have the THX segment with the guy with the jetpack flying around that I'm using as a test as well as some Sci Fi DVDs.
Any suggestions would be great.
If I left out any pertinent info, let me know and I'll add it.
Thanks,
--Mike
