My first subwoofer system (’94) was my sub out of a integrated AV 4 channel amp that had only one sub RCA OUT. The tech guy from M&K told me to hook my RCA OUT of the amp to the LEFT RCA IN of the sub. (The sub has both L and R RCA ins.) I never used a ’Y’.
How to best connect sub on $250 total stereo system?
Hey some units had been being built around my GF daughter:
Aiwa AV-D57 mainly for 2ch -- no preamp or processor audio output signal. Tried composite AV output L/R to L/R input of the sub described down below and realized they are just cover disconnected jacks. There's dedicated single sub output from the Aiwa. Does that mean that I can connect it to just one terminal or I have to use at least Y-connector? I can also use speaker terminals on sub, but hate fudging around those screw-on binding posts! What would be more beneficial after all using line-sub out or speaker terminals?
The rest of system:
B&W C201 speakers really need sub since they can struggle to work full range
Infinity MSW1 subwoofer
Modest Technics SLD3 all stock turntable with Ortofon 2m Red.
Computer Audio with Mac Book pro 2013 and Fiios DAC
Sony Mega 300 disk player
Wires and interconnects mostly car audio brands especially if it needs to be exposed for cool looks :)
