Subwoofers are best at providing bass and lower tones of music and sound effects.
The speaker system of your home audio sound system should be sufficiently powerful to fill the room for which it is intended. Larger rooms require more powerful speakers as well as ample signal strength provided by the stereo receiver. For large rooms or stereo systems used as part of a home theater system, add a subwoofer for the most complete sounding stereo. Powered subwoofers (those that do not need amplifiers) provide the best sound directly from your system's receiver.
Instructions
1. Place the subwoofer on a sturdy base, preferably the floor.
2. Locate the "subwoofer out" outlet on the back of your stereo receiver. The subwoofer connection outlet is located among the other audio inputs and outputs. The audio jacks are usually yellow. If your receiver does not have this outlet, move to Step 3; otherwise, continue to Step 4.
3. Connect the speaker wire to the left and right audio outputs on the back of the receiver. Run the wire to the location of the subwoofer and connect the two leads to the corresponding inputs on the sub. Move to Step 5.
4. Connect the RCA cable from the subwoofer out output to the location of the sub. Plug the cable into the input on the back of the subwoofer.
5. Plug the subwoofer's power cable into a wall outlet or power extension unit. Turn the sub on.
6. Turn on the stereo receiver and adjust the volume to your liking.
