Subwoofer Hook up advice

[bigjo911]

i just went from a comcast digital box to a HD box. i was using basic audio rca's to connect to my reciever. i used the basic subwoofer cable to connect to my reciever. now the HD box has fiber optic than i am using still with the sub cable connected. i am not getting any bass now. what am i over looking?

1. What kind of receiver are you using? Did you change any of the settings on the receiver?
2. Make sure the cable box is set to allow a digital signal to go to the receiver.

i have a pioneer vsx 515k, brand new. well iam getting audio through all my speakers just not any bass. i think somthing may need to be changed on the amp for settings but i am not sure where to go and i dotn know why it would be differnt from how i had it connected last time.

i am nopt familiar with that receiver. Others could probably give you better advise but here goes!
I looked it up and it shows that it has "subwoofer detect". I would assume that it is hooked up correctly...an rca cable running from subwoofer out on the receiver to either red or white IN on the subwoofer??? once that is established check the manual and make sure all your speaker settings are correct on the receiver (large/small/and subwoofer). "subwoofer detect" leads me to beleive that the receiver should recognize the subwoofer hooked up and all should be fine. Next check the receiver. When you have it set to CD or DVD, make sure the receiver is set to Optical (i think that was the type of cable you were using) in.
If that is all set...check your sub.
Is the power on?
is the volume turned up enough?
could it be blown?
