Ok, well I have a sony subwoofer that I bought about a year ago on ebay. Just yesterday I started to have problems with it after using it with a new receiver I bought about a week ago (JVC). When I would play music on the system I would get a very weak signal from the sub. I would have to turn it up completely to get any decent bass response. I just got back to school and had to hook up all of my home theater equipment in my apartment, which may be part of the problem, since I accidentally unplugged the subwoofer cable and then plugged it back in a few times while the system was on but not playing any music. I have also been a bit rough with the cable (tugging on it and such). My old receiver I know works fine with the sub so I decided to test the sub with the old receiver to try and diagnose what the problem was. I found that the sub worked when I used the old receiver and a random rca cable instead of the sub cable. But it would have the same symptoms (very weak signal) when I used the old receiver and the present subwoofer cable. The sub also had these symptoms when I tried the new receiver with a different cable...
So basically I have come to the conclusion that its either the receiver or the sub cable and I was hoping someone could shed some light on the situation and provide some insight as to what could be happening. I tried to open up the receiver but JVC has put a very unique screw on the back which seems to be their way of only allowing their techs to service the equipment. What a bummer... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
