Vandersteen 2W sub connection


Recently purchased a pair of vandersteen 2C speakers and a bi-wire cables for them. Now looking to add a vandersteen 2W subwoofer but completely baffled by connection requirements. Shared the link to a pic below and, if anyone is familiar and can help, I’d really appreciate it. They have 4 banana plugs and 1 banana/spade plug yet the manual mentions an RCA connection. Wtf!?

The Vandy subs use a high pass filter between preamp and amp

you need to know the input impedence of your power amp to set the DIP switches on inside of crossover. iF you don’t know or can’t find out the input Impex you can with Vandertones a free download use a voltmeter to set the dip switches. Don’t guess!

Next hook up speaker wires from your amp as shown on back of the 2W

iF the biwire set of wires you have does not have bananas you will need to change. Audioquest makes a nice setscrew silver Banana - there are many others.

Factory is open or call your local Vandersteen dealer in the AM

The advice on reading manual is hyper important!
