Do I need a converter for my subwoofer cable? This has a R &amp; L input on the back whereas my previous just had one spot for line in.

The manual says to use just the LEFT input for a single input, do not use a Y adapter.

Your subwoofer out probably needs to go out to the amp. At the subwoofer out from the amp, is where you can split the signal and send it to both subs. That's what I would do.

The RCA output jack is for the subwoofer only. L, R, center, and surround L&R are simple bare wire hook up. Yes, you will need to wire in a RCA jack for the sub. Shielded cables are always better with any audio application.

Are you talking to install it with a stock head unit? You do not need a converter box. This amplifier has a line/speaker level input that allows you to connect the speakers wires from your rear component speakers directly to the amplifier (you do not need RCA cables), you can splice into the rear speaker line on your stock system so you can keep the stock rear speakers and add the subs. You can then adjust the frequency filter on the amplifier for low frequency output to the subwoofer. Let me know if you have any more questions about this as this is exactly how I have this hooked up with my stock head unit running a Kicker L7 15" Solo Baric subwoofer, it pounds pretty good!

How do I connect my subwoofer to my Sony STR-DH 800 if my subwoofer has two wire connector?Do I need to buy another subwoofer to fit onto the subwoofer port on the STR-DH 800?

The previous answers are good. Page 32 of the manual gives a picture of the connections on the back of the receiver. I have a B&W; subwoofer connected without problems.Eric S

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.

Hi all,I purchased the same unit (IM600) and wanted to add a subwoofer. I tried many things and I was able to connect my spare 10" powered subwoofer (JVC). The trick is to use the right cable (3.5 mm plug for IM600 to two RCA plugs for the subwoofer). I just used the cable that came with my ipod and it worked well (note - for some reason white and yellow works for my sub instead of white and red). I now have IM600 with rich deep bass and it sounds very good. As I understand IM600 can work with any "powered" subwoofer with the right cable.Note - I am assuming since its a powered subwoofer it will not put any strain on IM600.Hope this would help folks who are trying to connect a subwoofer to IM600.Regards.

Just need a single audio cable and maybe a rca cable for subwoofer. The length may be a problem for the audio but maybe best buy may have that long. Im assuming that you have and audio output in your tv

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

I use a single cable between the receiver subwoofer connection and the Line Level In LFE subwoofer connection. Works great for my setup. You can always buy another cable if this does not work for you.

You need one subwoofer cable to go from the sub to the back of the receiver.

Hello Louise, Buy a sub that has Speaker level inputs and outputs on the back ( many polk, sony, bic etc. do). Simply install right and left speaker wires to the amp as you normally would for regular speakers. Then conect those wires to the r/l speaker INPUT on the back of the sub. Then run seperate wires from the r/l OUTPUT on sub to your speakers. Works and sounds great! Hope this helps. S

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.
