The first thing I did for my home audio was run speaker wire through the attic. Come to find out my receiver does not have a speaker wire out for the sub. Is there a way to connect RCA's to speaker wire. Another possible problem is the receiver only has 1 out for the sub, I'm assuming this must be the left side? But the sub has input's for R and L. Will this be a problem?
Thanks for any help |

JH, your sub may accept high(speaker level) input, in which case you are fine.
A 'Y' splitter is usually employed to take your LFE output from a single end at the receiver to the stereo input on the sub.
Hope this helps. |

Nuck,
I understand what your saying, and that may be my only choice. What I want to avoid is getting back into my attic (in florida). I already have all the speaker wire run and would like to utilize this if possible. |

If your sub has speaker level inputs, then you just connect them to your regular speaker terminals, 2 wires per connection.
Coward, put in a bathroom vent while you are up there. |

Haha, the less time I spend in that attic, the better.
So your saying I dont have to use the designated sub output on the receiver. Just the regular speaker outputs will work? |

If your sub accepts speaker level inputs, yes.
What is the sub?
Or is this where the details come in? |

I am gonna be in FLA week after next, and while that helps neither your sub-connection, nor your present ventilation of the facilities, I can imagine that the attic is not a great space for a campout. |

It definitly is not. The sub is a Polk Audio. Model # RM6750. It came in a Polk Audio 5.1 speaker set up. The receiver is a Yamaha RX-V565 |
