What cable type is best for this sub: RCA to RCA into LFE input -OR- RCA to Y-RCA into R & L input? FYI: Using a Denon AVR-X1000 or 2000.

Tried using the R-L approach but it didn't work at all. Ended up finally reading my decade-old receiver manual (Pioneer VSX-D912), configured for the RCA-jacked LFE connection, and it works great.

You can buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K2TXMO/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details and hook it up to your stereo red/white input cables like these http://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-RCA-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000UZ66YY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1321326192&sr=1-5 Thats what I do - but you've probably already figured this out by now. Thanks

If your Sub has two ports then you would need this cable with a Y-adapter like this one:Mediabridge ULTRA Series RCA Y-Adapter (12 Inches) - 1-Female to 2-Male for Digital Audio or Subwoofer - (Part# CYA-2M1F-P )Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222support@mediabridgeproducts.com

Total agreement with Spirit of 76 and FireWynd. Your Sub should be plugged directly in the AVR. I really like the SCS100, but in my living room, I have had to fiddle with it a bit to perfect the surround.

according to the product description "The RCA L/R output will not have sound if the incoming audio is multi-channel audio (>2CH)".So the answer depends on what your input audio signal is. it will NOT downmix 5.1 (or any >2channel) audio to stereo.

I would have to say yes. I used a single RCA cable, but something just didn't sound right. I then purchased a y-split subwoofer cable and there was an obvious difference, at least to me.

Hi all,I purchased the same unit (IM600) and wanted to add a subwoofer. I tried many things and I was able to connect my spare 10" powered subwoofer (JVC). The trick is to use the right cable (3.5 mm plug for IM600 to two RCA plugs for the subwoofer). I just used the cable that came with my ipod and it worked well (note - for some reason white and yellow works for my sub instead of white and red). I now have IM600 with rich deep bass and it sounds very good. As I understand IM600 can work with any "powered" subwoofer with the right cable.Note - I am assuming since its a powered subwoofer it will not put any strain on IM600.Hope this would help folks who are trying to connect a subwoofer to IM600.Regards.

I used audio cable with RCA connectors.There are other ways too. Refer to manual. Goodluck.

It is listed as RCA to RCA. Fits fine on my KEF subwoofer and Onkyo TX-NR616 receiver. Sorry, I don't know what a LFE connection is.

I don't know about "safely," but no, this is not what you want. If your receiver has a single RCA output jack for a sub, it wants to see an audio/instrument/signal cable, not a speaker wire/cable. If your subwoofer has speaker-level ins, then you want to connect them to the speaker jacks on your receiver with a speaker wire. If your sub has a single RCA-style LFE input, it wants to see a (shielded) audio cable, not a speaker cable, and it should be connected to the sngle sub/LFE output on a receiver. It sounds like you are trying to mix signal types here because your receiver doesn't have the kind of output that your sub needs, and you don't want to do that.

I would not stress about this. The best solution would be to use an RCA Y adapter, and you could have one in 2 days from Amazon. However, you will get signal from plugging it into either the red or white terminal. Plug it into the one you like best and order the adaptor. I made my own from an old RCA cable that I had. Remember that you only paid $100 for your surround sound system-you aren't going for audiophile levels of accuracy here.

My sound system receiver fried. I would like to hook this directly to my tv or dvd system. Neither of them have speaker jacks. They both have one rca out or multiple s video/audio spots. How does this hook into them? I do not see any outlets other than speaker wire.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

No, you would just hook the one rca connection to either the left or right sub input. YOu will be perfectly fine. This would be what everyone with a mono sub out on their A/V receiver does and it is perfectly normal. Hope this helps.

The 7030's D/A conversion is excellent. I hooked mine up to the analog inputs (>100db A s/n) of my recycled old 6.0 a/v receiver with 3 ft KabelDirekt RCA/RCA, a big $12 via Prime. Works great! Save your digital inputs for BD, etc.

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers

I agree with Andrew. Get a 90* RCA adapter. Amazon sells these also, and they are not expensive. They are sold as DB Link right angle adapters. Have used these myself, and they work great. Hope this helps!
