Help With Home Audio Setup

SKW770B is the Sub, and based on the instructions it did not appear that it had a cutoff included.

The Amp is a Sony STR-DH130. Just checked again, definitely no Sub output

Just looked at the specs: http://www.intl.onkyo.com/downloads/manuals/pdf/skw-770_manual_e.pdf, should not be a problem (impedance is quite low - input) to do it as some posters suggested previously: + from R-channel and + from L-channel and obviously screen / ground. If you experience bad sound ad small 10K Ω resistance in series with each channel.

I think you may need to solve the impedance problem by using the correct wire.

Try 26g

If that doesn't work, I think you may just need to connect it up with some 30g twisted.
But twist it really really tight
It won't sound good unless its tight.

Nice find. The manual also lists a frequency response of 25-150hz which suggests an internal LPF, the frequency response of the actual woofer would be much higher than that. No need to worry about an external crossover, just plug in and make some noise.

Thanks so much @drew, @johan and @Gazzacpt

Got it all wired up, ready to make a racket, and then couldn't get anything to play. Check the back of the TV, and it doesnt have any RCA outs!!! I had it connected to the RCA inputs. TV Only has optical out, and Amp doesn't do optical.

Another plan will be needed!

Lol, no headphone jack?
