- Please Please subscribe - Step by step how to hook up a powered subwoofer with a 2 channel receiver or 2 channel intergrated amp that does not have subwoofer pre out (RCA signal) I do this by using speaker B out put from Receiver/integrated amp into the high input on the powered Subwoofer some will say this is actually the correct way when you have a music system Paul at P.S Audio explains this best , I did this video for my subscribers because I couldn't find a good enough video on utube showing detail by detail how to do this process, Remb the powered subwoofer must have high level input to do this, a lot of powered subwoofers don't have this option I hope this helps people out if you have any ? leave a comment I'll try my best to help out thanks again and this is TJ the stereo bargin file
Please Subscribe to the channel i got alot of how2 videos i am going to post !!! Trust me I been installing Pro-Gear and 2ch gear since I was 5 years old !!
since my sony strdh 590 ended up blowing the fuse and transformer i had to go back to my old strdh 190 but i still wanted to use my core series sacs9 sub just didnt know if i could. i watched so many videos and none of them really explained it good or actually showed how to do it. *been 6 months* yesterday i found this video and watched and i tactually worked. i never had a smile on my face that big in a while i was so glad to be able to use my sub again and be able to enjoy music and movies.
This makes my day !! I did this video long ago , and I used a cheap cell phone to record ' and it's helped alot of people . That's what I wanted this channel to be about helping out each other thanks for the comment '
Spent a lot of time researching to figure out how to install my new sub. You figured it out. Thank you.
Your welcome , glad this helped out
Wow I should be an electrical engineer ... been having 2 12 inch subs in closet for a year never used them or got to hear them with full power and my dad brought home a 1,000 watt receiver and I did exactly this and it worked
Thats great !! Glad this worked for you 😃
Mike from England. At last a guy who explains the set up slowly and methodically. Great explanation for this electrical dummy that I am. Thanks so much Tee-jay gonna order one today. :-)
YESSSSSSSSSSS..................Finally I found a video that explained the process in details !!! Thank you !
Thanks TJ, you are a genius! Tried for 3 days to connect my Polk Audio PSW 20 sub-whoofer to my Pioneer Elite AV receiver using the pre-amp out to pre-amp in on the sub using one male to 2 male split RCA jacks. Tried every which way. No joy! Watched your video and viola! problem solved. Thanks again.
Your welcome Sam ! I am going to start a tricks of the trade video series soon 😃 thanks for the comment !!! Thats great this worked for ya !
I want to thank you man! Thought my subwoofer was broken. But here you come and saves the day. I had to hook up my subwoofer with my front speakers. Couldn't have a and b pressed together. Thank you again.
Same here. Even though my Pioneer AV receiver has A & B speaker outs, not unable to utilize his YT method without losing 5.1 surround. The receiver manual also states this. If you have satellite fronts, it would be ideal to use the above fail safe solution. Since the satellite speakers are not bass efficient, hooking it up this way will make the mids and highs more listenable by adjusting the subwoofer crossover pot.
brand new to this stuff trying to figure it all out. when you say you hooked it up to your front speakers, does that mean you ran your left/right literally to your front speakers and not the receiver at all?
Yes i ran speaker A output from reciever to Speakers then I ran b speaker output fron reciever to high level input of subwoofer 'all good thats what i am here for -
Awesome! I recently purchased a new receiver, turntable and vintage CD player because I felt my analog music collection was being neglected. Wanted to add a sub but didn't think it was possible. Now it looks like I will be. ✌️
Love it !!! 😃
I searched all the vloggers here in you tube until i stumbled into your videos and im very thankful coz i made it perfectly.😊
So glad this worked for you and many others ' makes my Day seeing these comments if you need help with Audio just ask 😊
What will i do if the sorround connection of my/the amplifier is not working?thanks in advance😊
@user-xq6op5iy1u you can tie into your main speaker A output ' the sub only needs a signal it will not take power away from amp I think it's like 500mv ' millavolts ' it won't hurt nothing just get positive negative correct '
@@user-xq6op5iy1u y9u may have a burned out channel '
Thanks!!!
You just saved me from thinking I need to get a new receiver! This worked great!! Thanks man Rock on!🤘
Glad this helped you out ! I will have more how2 videos coming very soon 😆
The simplest method to hook a sub. Thanks a lot.
Thank you brother, you made more sense than all the rest of those technical guy's on RUclips!
Thank you ' I'd you ever need help just shoot me a comment '
I have the exact same system thank you for your help I will purchase a preamp high level input subwoofer
You saved me on this one man. I was hooking up my late father-in-law's stereo. Thank you again!!
Your welcome glad this worked for ya that was my goal -
I've done exactly this and it works very well.

Thank you, my sony speakers have plenty of bass but information is always key.
Your very welcome !
What sony speakers? I'm looking for some with decent bass :)
@@kydcali You want Sony 3 way speakers that can handle 120 Watts of power, I just bought a pair of Sony speakers on ebay for $120, you can search Google for Sony 3 way speakers.
Thank you for this informative demo - much appreciated.
Klipsch,,,, Really? this is the EXACT same sub woof im tryna hook up, thank you so much. I figured it out thanks to you. well it turns out the whole right side of my 1985 Hitachi SR- 504 is out. no power to the right side, so i hooked it up to the left side and it works but, not so well, no balance control. but with my HEIL AMTS 2 it still sounds perty good. Haaa. these speakers are pure German genius...but I need the original pioneer 1976 receiver and amp to get this $4000.00 vintage system back to normal. thanks for the tips man it helped me out a lot.

Your welcome 😆
This is how me and my friend did it in high school when we couldn’t figure out how to set up a system to the factory radio we gave up and hooked it up to the Reciever in his room lol .
You hooked automotive subwoofers to a home audio receiver?
Yea we did it was
Easy too . Easier then hooking the sub
And amp to a
Volvos factory stereo
@@86dieselman I did the same. Had a kicker ss12 box. Full range with midrange and horn tweeters and 2 12" kicker subs. It was a beautiful car stereo kit. I would take it out of my van and into my dorm r0om at college connected to a sony 2 channel amp. The box was 4ohm and it rocked with the sony. Absolutely got me in trouble regularly.
Many thanks. Zillions of times better than the guy from PS Audio.
Wow thats a hell of a comment !! Thank you , Just don't tell Paul 😆 I well have more tricks of the trade very soon ! Your very welcome 😆
Lucky 4 me I have an A+B spk’d amp .. u beaut .. movies & music 2 the max! U r a legend champ💪

Thanks very much. Hooked it up to my surround sound receiver because I blew my subwoofer input on the receiver.
My God, thanks for sharing this, I was ready to go buy a different amplifier tomorrow morning because my original sub rca output never did work to begin with. I'm going to get some more wire and give this a go. 😛🤘 Rock on buddy 👌.

THANK YOU! I inherited a sub without rca or any information on how to install
Thanks for the upload. Now I have to figure out what affordable sub to use in my 25x40 open living room / kitchen. My Klipsh Heresey’s struggle with bass for that size room.
Thank you for stopping in! , Alot of people go with SVS subs now days ,
I paid 799.00 for the Klispch Reference 10d thats in the video back in 08 or 09 it was their top of the line with an hybrid class A power amp design but about 6 months ago i fryed the amp to some old school Dr.Dre the chronic cd 😆 It lasted me 10 years not bad for me lol but i been looking at REL subs lately , I wrote both SVS Klispch and Rel to review their subs on the channel but no1 wrote me back 😥
All these years I've been connecting my speakers wrong..I have one speaker & one sub & I been connecting both to speaker A, what a difference sound is now that I'm using one for A and the other for B, I'm still speechless
Thats great !!!!
Great information, thanks for the video!
great video mate, and killer track to hear the result !
Thank you Liam !! There will be more to come this year on How2 videos
Thanks will try this on my sx880
Very usefull tnx,now I know what I did wrong

Nice video bud, i just got a cool old school ONKYO Reciever and wanted to rock my 2 15s and my powered sub so i can piss the block off so thanks!!!
Your welcome that's what I am here for 😆 is the pep !
YEE DOGGIE !!!! Thanks for the review
Your very welcome , if you have any questions at all with audio just give the subscribers channel a shout shout let it all out !! Lol
Very informative and easy to follow! I can’t help but think 💭 Save some trouble and just buy a 5.1 or 7.1 channel receiver (couple hundred bucks), order a 10-14 pack of gold plated banana plugs, attach/plug in and all set! Easy peasy😜👍🏻
Well alot of people are into 2ch stereo for music only 'home theater recievers aren't as powerful as 2ch Amps ' and home theater recievers have much higher THD than Stereo recievers '
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 that’s a good point
Great video!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you very much 😆
Best explanation yet . 👍🏾
Thank you 😆

Your very welcome , thanks for the comment !
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 I'm wondering kind of the opposite of your video,how can I hook a PASSIVE subwoofer to my pioneer vsx-d557 receiver which only has an active sub RCA output?
@@fredwood2033 does the passive subwoofer have soeaker inputs and outputs ? If so run speaker wire output from revievers to input of subwoofer then from subeoofer run speaker output to tour front speakers
Tee-Jay The Stereo-Bargain-File Hello. My pre amp subwoofer only have 1 line in left and right. And I have a 2 channel amp. Could I used Y split RCA connect 2 negative of B channel to sub’s 1 negative. And 2 positive to 1 positive. Will that be ok?
Tee-Jay The Stereo-Bargain-File By the way, I am also going to get a passive center speaker. Could I also connect it to both left and right B channel by using Y split? Thanks a lot if you could answer me, cause I couldn’t figure it out whole day.
Thank you, clear and easy explanation.

Nice! Really helpful sir!
I've watched a few video's of people trying to explain what you have just done. You explained things in plain English without dressing things up to make a complicated thing out of it that only Rocket 🚀scientist could understand. After watching your video, I know what to do. Thank you from across the pond.
Yout welcome , Very important for me to explain how2 videos as easily as I can about to drop another how2 video on Speaker Pigtails for Vintage amps that don't have 5 way speaker binding post
Thanks for stopping in
Huge help
i have almost the same setup, however i add a car preamp wired just for the sub and i can have the woofer bark depending on the music type and mood, (independent of the main music input vol)
Lol i have done that also when i was younger .
Thanks for this video was helpful
I know how to hook up a sub to my vintage receiver now thank you very much
Ha Tu your very welcome , I got more audio tricks coming soon !
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 just hooked it up and put on A+B my bookshelf got a very little sounds even I turn the volume to 1 o'clock all I hear just the sub ( I only turn up just a touch) switched back to A only the sound is normal ( 9 o'clock) I was thinking the vintage receiver is not enough powers to drive A+B any ideas? Thanks again
Ha Tu sometimes when using A+B it'll take half the power away turn the amp up on your powered subwoofer
you may have to get more efficient speakers our a more powerful amp what amp you got ?
Ha Tu yes turn the power to the subwoofer half way then on your Reciever turn it up and see if it makes a difference if not your receiver might not be powerful enough the Reciever I use in this video is only 50 watts but it rocks out decently
Excellent video. Thanks
Thanks - this helped a lot.
Thanks for stopping in ! Glad this helped out ! Enjoy 😃
Hey buddy great video I appreciate it simplified what I want to do the only problem I have is that I have a Sunfire subwoofer which I picked up from a friend of mine‘s he had for a while but it sounds great I’ve been using it with my AVR in my bedroom but now I’m setting up a small vinyl and receiver set up with my Yamaha preamp which is to channel with A&B as well. The only problem I have the sub woofer does not have a high-level input well at least it doesn’t say high-level input. It does have the RCA connectors and it just says speaker level input can I use this if not what are the options do I have.
Thanks for any advice that you or anyone could give me here
Felix Laboy how many outputs does your preamp have ? does it not have subwoofer output? if you send me model number of pre-amp and active subwoofer I might be able to figure it out some older pre-amps don't have subwoofer output their just meant to run to a 2 channel amp now if your 2 channel amp has speakers A/B then you can use amp just Like I did in this video
Speaker level inputs should be the same as high-level inputs
Awesome video thank you
Your welcome glad this helped out more how2s coming up this weekend !!!
Helpful.. And your accent made this entertaining to watch. Keep it up.
Thank you ! More to come very soon
What accent?
