How do I make my modern receiver power my old subwoofer, that is not self powered?
My receiver has one hole (purple), and my subwoofer has two holes (red and white). I recently went to see if there was a cord that would convert that and there was at radioshack, but the problem is that the cords relied on the sub to be self powered, which it is not. Is there any way I could get this to work? Thank you.
This is easy to fix.
By running some speaker cable from the left and right Speaker outputs to the push terminals on the subwoofer.
Then going into the setup menu of your receiver. Set the speaker setting of the front speaker to Large. Then set the Subwoofer setting to None.
The subwoofer will now extract the low frequencys from the left and right front speaker output.
