New cables or?

[Mr scott]

I have no experience with this situation! A friend gave me the subwoofer years ago; had it connected with plain speaker wire (3). To connect to my new receiver, can someone please help?

So much information to go on.
This looks more like a "click on all that show a speaker " captchas

Don't be rude back. It's just a trap.

And if you want help, we need more to go on, please.

That means, please, don't expect me to google your problem for you.

Suit yourself. As I said, a little more info and we might be able to help you.

BTW, Isolar is a bit anti social, if you couldn't guess.

You almost certainly can not connect it to your new receiver. Now receivers have line level out and not speaker level outs. So you can not connect that sub directly to your new receiver. You will need a power amp, and connect the sub out of the receiver to the RCA in of the power amp, and then connect the speaker terminals of the power amp to the speaker level inputs of the sub.

That sounds like an old passive sub though, and probably not worth bothering with. I guess your friend dumped it off with you, rather than the recycling center.

First and foremast, antisocial (behavior) is much more serious than being silly and rudish; and I must have initially take sarcasm roo seriously . What do you need

 

[Mr scott]

You can not use that sub with that receiver. It only has a line sub out and your sub does not have a line in, as it has no amp, and only speaker level inputs. You need a powered sub and NOT the one you have.

I do not understand your question in your last post. I'd like that translated please.

Your profile says you're from Pittsburgh as am I. I get it now--it needs power. I'll recycle and start shopp'in! And here's an artistic allusion to your captcha ribbing:

My profile does not say I'm from Pittsburgh, but states correctly that I live in Eagan Minnesota.

All you had to do is tell us the model of the sub and the model of the AVR.
You are only about the 5th new poster this week to ask for help with no useful info.
No one one Earth is going to recognize what sub you had from what I assume is pic of the only inputs your sub has.

The only thing your unneeded pics confirmed was the model of your AVR.
If that last pic was of an ancient sub, TLS Guy and the rest of us could tell you (and he did)...you need a new sub with an RCA line level LFE input.

What the hell was pic 1 supposed to be ?
You didn't check the "S-1" thingie either...so, that's not a speaker ?
