Problem with subwoofer and Arcam ARV 300

The SW-12 also has speaker-level inputs--use 'em. It will sound better that way anyhow, unless your main speakers need the crossover to filter out lows 'cause they can't handle it.

Rustler, make sure the subwoofer is turned on in the set-up menu on the Arcam AVR300. Hold the menu button down for several seconds on the Arcam remote control to access the correct menu. (make sure, of course, the remote control is on amp). If you only press the menu button once, without holding it down, you will access a menu with limited adjustments. Although you can further tweak the system with this menu, this is not the one to use to set up the system. The correct menu will have several options including advanced settings. For the physical connection, connect the subwoofer output of the Arcam (make sure you are not connected to the 7.1 input) to either the L or R input on the Klipsch subwoofer. Since the .1 channel is summed mono, it doesn't really matter which input you choose. Good luck. You should not have to purchase a new subwoofer.

Thanks so far. I don't have this hooked up to a tv yet; it's running my stereo system for the time being, so I can't use the menu options to help with this.

Also, how might I run through the speaker-level inputs, since the AVR 300 only has the single RCA out for subwoofer? I'm new at this A/V stuff; sorry if my questions are stupid.
