I'd like to use a RCA cable to plug in my Subwoofer to my receiver. The problem is that my Sub has speaker wire connection in the back, while the receiver uses a RCA connection. Any ideas?? Thanks!

A: "42" is correct. This will not work.

Here is the rule:

- RCA cables are "line-level". The signals carry no power to drive speakers.

I currently have a 1000 watt Phillips home theater system and would like to get rid of the passive subwoofer and put in a powered subwoofer. The phillips system does not have component audio outputs. It only has the two small speaker wires that go to the subwoofer. Please let me know how I can hook up a powered subwoofer to this system.

A: Unfortunately, many HTIB systems and other similar home theater package systems just don't give you the flexibility that a modular system would give -the price you pay for budget-minded convenience. However, you should have an AUX OUT or an alternative AUDIO OUT that you may use as a SUB OUT. Even the CENTER OUT would work if you have one on your HTS.

Or, as a couple of options, you could either get a higher efficiency/performance passive sub if you just need more...

Right, so I'm planning on purchasing and installing a subwoofer for my truck, and I was wondering what subwoofer would be the best for it, and any links to guides for it would be helpful.
I really want something for a louder and deeper sound, but still clear.
