    I hooked up my subwoofer as you suggested, by coming off of the receiver to the subwoofer, then from subwoofer to speakers…….works perfectly 👍👍

    I am really old school currently with a very simple panasonic receiver...it only has one line input and two speaker outputs. I want to buy an active subwoofer. Using the Panasonic receiver and line cables it will mean keeping the subwoofer near to or underneath the receiver. Your video helped more than any other so far. I picked up cheaply a newer system with a subwoofer speaker output. It's flashy and bulky (Sony GTZ2) but it'll do. Thanks for your presentation.

    4:29 so many channel try to explain that cables from amp spkr (B sets) to sub then to front spkrs but it's hard to visualize the connection from what outputs of the subs to front speakers?

    Feeding a powered subwoofer from the output of an amplifier seems wrong to me. The powered sub would want to see a line level signal I would have thought. Maybe I misunderstand something.

    Hi Mike, amazing review..Can I ask a quick question, I am complete beginer in this HT journey, just bought myself a Kef Q950, Kef Surrounds, Denon x3500 (old one from my cousin), SVS SB1000 and AudioaLab 7000a.. Currently Denon is running the Surround and Centre, and the SUB.. Audiolab is running as pre-amp with those Kef950s.. I am currently happy with the setup, but want to try connecting SVS to AudioLab... Not exactly sure with the cabling part, will it be a Y Splitter type RCA, 1 Male to the "In" socket in SVS to 2 Male RCA in the Pre-Outs sockets in the AudioLab

    I have vintage adcom preamp and amp separates, no A/B speakers option on preamp, only one pair. no "speaker out" connection on svs sub. I used main out 1 for amp and main out 2 for sub. Many dont have 2nd main outs. how would i have added sub without it? I guess to use a RCA "Y" if had only 1 main out to go to amp and sub...

    Yet another confusing video on how to do speaker level connection. The video shows you connecting the wires from the receiver to the sub INPUT connectors. But no mention of how the signal is then passed to main speakers. You do mention that IF the sub has speaker level outs then connect the mains to those. But on this svs those arent present. So now what?

    • @mykandrew
      @mykandrew  Před 8 měsíci

      Your soundbar needs to have a subwoofer output to be able to use the Kenwood sub. If that’s the case then hook up your sound bar through optical or HDMI Arc to your tv.

    I understand your connections from the receiver to the sub but on your sub, and my sub, there is no connections for output to the mains… so then what!? Please reply.

  • @mikecampbell5856
    @mikecampbell5856 Před rokem +5

    Great tutorial. It's the best I've seen actually. My AVR has a sub out so that was easy. My other gear is older so I use the speaker level ins and outs and it takes the bass load off of my speakers. I'm not a bass head but I just like the low end extension.

    • @mykandrew
      @mykandrew  Před rokem +1

    The topic doesn't specify a powered subwoofer.
    Make the required adjustments please.
