I Just ordered a Sony speakers off ebay
I think they where previously part of a HTIB system.
Payed 40 bucks 1 center, 4 satelites and one 8 inch sub
The other speakers are perfect
but the subwoofer is weird
instead of having a rca input it has 2 speaker wire slots
one postive one negative
the reciever im getting as a subwoofer out that uses on single rca
is there a way i could hook it up to the reciever??
Will it sound ok? |

What model speakers?
You probably have a passive subwoofer, meaning you need a separate amp to power the sub or it needs to connect to the speaker output of the receiver. |

SS-WS52 Is The Model Num Of The Speaker
I Googled It Got Some Manuels
I hooked it up to an old 1996 sony reciever and it barly vibrated when playing call of duty
it sounds more like a huge speaker |

If the receiver does not have a subwoofer output you will not hear much by way of low frequency outputs. |

Dan, you wrote that you have found some manuals for the subwoofer. Check to see if the input is for speaker level inputs. If that is the case then you have to connect the speaker outputs of your receiver to that Sony sub. A powered sub usually has an RCA type jack for receiving low frequency signals from a receiver's sub out. Some powered sub has both inputs. |
