Subwoofer With 4 Speaker Wire Terminal

happy · Sep 10, 2012

Hi guys, so I have a subwoofer that has 4 terminals and doesn't have the regular 1 subwoofer input (the coax input). So my question, is how do I connect this subwoofer? Why are there 4 terminals?

It isn't labeled?

What's the manufacturer and model number?

I googled that, but didn't find find out how to actually connect the 4 terminals. Are you sure that is what it's called?

Those 4 connectors are likely just speaker wire terminals. 2 are in, and 2 are out. The sub has a built in filter that either has a knob to control it or is fixed. So, you just connect by chopping one of your existing speaker wires in half.

I have an AIWA subwoofer that is like this. Basically the speakers run through it, as said above, 2 in 2 out.

Oh snap! I thought we were talking car audio & a bare subwoofer :laugh:

m1dg3t < < :slap:

Sounds like you have to connect via "high pass", basicaly you run your main L/R out to the inputs on the sub and then if you need those channels still (for a regular speaker) connect from the output on the sub to the speaker/s...

Hope this helps? Still out n' about, perhaps one of our resident audio guru's can comment/confirm/deny :eek:

Maybe post a pic or some info with what you are actually working with/on, it would'nt hurt...

Service in the tube aint to good lol Previous 2 posts are correct I believe

I finally got the model for the subwoofer. It is from this HT set: Purtone PHD-710. I will just be using the subwoofer as the satellites are total crap. The subwoofer is also crap, but it will be better than a bookshelf.

Have a look at that happy.I saw a few things flicking through it that may help you =)

I saw that but didn't read it thoroughly. Looks like that subwoofer is useless. Oh well. Thanks though.

just because it's passive doesn't mean it can't be hooked up.
