Connect a sub to a surround sound receiver using the subwoofer output jack.
A powered subwoofer pumps deep, low-frequency bass as part of a surround sound system for home theater. With enough amplification behind it, a quality subwoofer can literally rattle the room, adding an exciting dimension to action movies and heavy bass effects in recorded music. A single audio cable specifically designed for connecting a powered sub is the only extra part you need to hook up a woofer to a surround sound system.
Instructions
1. Place the subwoofer in an out-of-the-way spot in the room where it's not an obstacle, but not pressed against a wall, which can absorb the bass sound.
2. Push the plug on one end of the subwoofer cable into the "OUT to SUB" jack on the back of the surround sound system receiver.
3. Connect the plug on the other end of the cable into the audio "IN" jack on the back panel of the sub.
4. Plug the subwoofer electrical cord into a wall outlet and set the volume control knob on the back of the sub to the desired level.
