I just ordered the Sony 720 home theater 7.1 surround sound receiver,it has a plug-in for the subwoofer, but I have an older subwoofer which has the old red and black put in the speaker wire style. Monoprice doesnt sell that type of cable, any suggestions? |

What you have is a passive subwoofer. It needs to be powered separately. If you must stick with the subwoofer you have, then buy an inexpensive amp ( mine is the audiosource 100, about $100 ). I have the same sony720. You run an rca "y" plug from the 720 sub output to the amp line inputs and then speaker wire from the amp to the sub. |

I agree with Dennis- get an inexpensive outboard amp for your older passive sub. Beau, I don't think it's wise to spend $500 to power an older subwoofer unless it is of exceptional quality. For $500, or a lttle more, he could get an excellent powered sub from SVS HSU or ed. A little more gets better from same companies and adds the MFW15 & EPIK into the possibilities. That's where I'd lay down my hard earned Dollars. Got the HSU VTF2.3 for $529 with shipping. IT ROCKS! |
