Set-up for In-wall Passive Subwoofer

[dmccarr359]

I need help in setting up a in-wall passive subwoofer to my 5.1 Denon receiver. I have figured out enough to know that I need to purchase an amp to power the subwoofer, but I am not sure how the connections should go. If someone can walk me through that in laymans terms I would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks for any help.

What sub are you trying to install?

The connections are going to be pretty easy, just one extra step. From the sub out on the Denon to the amp input, then speaker wire from the amp to the sub. Now if you want to get an EQ inline to help with the setup that would go between the receiver and the amp. Nothing too difficult.

Thanks again.

Follow Highbar on the connections. Since the sub uses a dual voice-coil, I'm assuming there are four connections. They don't have the manual available. If this is correct, you'll want a ~200W stereo amp. The Behringer A500 should suffice. And you'll need to split the sub-out of the receiver into the amp. A single female to 2 male cable adapter should work fine. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3526363
