The back of my subwoofer, please help! (1 Viewer)

[Babek]

Hi, I'm currently using one rca wire from the back of the subwoofer to the receiver. I do have 2 rca connections on the back of the subwoofer and my friend told me to buy a y-cable, and then to connect that to a subwoofer cable that is hooked to the receiver.

Should I do that? Will is make any difference?

The Y splitter to both sub connectors (L&R) will field a 6dB increase in most subs (depends how they are internally wired). This is what I did with my own sub.

Moved to speakers/subwoofers

hm interesting, how will that field number you stated help my overall subwoofer power and sound?

You don't need to bother really. The L/R inputs are summed then amplified. One side should work just fine. Turning up the volume accomplishes the samet hing.

This is definatly true when i had it hooked like that at first on mine. I decided to go with out the Y-Adapter.
