Kenwood KSC-WA801 can you tell me if the this subwoofer Kenwood KSC-WA801 will work on a home surround system. i bought it on ebay but i feel i have made a mistake and it can only be used for a car

Take a look at this manual diagram. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/359815/Kenwood-Ksc-Sw10.html?page=5#manual

Given the above is not your model, at least it shows the 10 pin. Ironically, below I offer a diagram of your model. The irony comes in the fact that the diagram appears labeled in Japanese But if you compare the two diagrams, maybe something will make sense from the one with the English labels. Otherwise, you might fire off a query to Kenwood customer support. https://www.manualscenter.com/manuals/kenwood/kscsw900-owner-manual.html

I don't have any information on how to power supply a kCSWA900 Kenwood subwoofer. However, I can tell you that the Kenwood KSC-SW10 compact powered subwoofer has a built-in amplifier with a 38 watts RMS power and a wired remote for control over volume level, variable low-pass crossover (50-120 Hz), and selectable phase control (0°, 180°) . The subwoofer comes with a power/ground wiring harness and preamp (RCA) and speaker-level inputs .

You may need to wait a few minutes for the "Get Manual" link to appear below the preview picture.

if you are looking to just run the power solely through other speakers this will prolly not work you will still need to have power going to the amplifier.

I have mine running in my room with just a small 12v - 8amp battery (dies quickly) but if you get a power converter for 120/220v - 12v with at least 12-15amps you could run in your home easily

make sure it has a good ground

Hello mikealtre,

Hopefully there's enough of the wires left to see their colors.

Here's a link to the manual. Other than the speaker level inputs, there's only 3 wires you need to be concerned with. Yellow is main power, black is ground, and blue is remote.

Hope this helps.

It looks like the S-video you need one end to be male and the other is female end.The high quality the S-video wire the better the sound.Make sure you get a long enough cord. Take it with you to radio shack or and car audio or home audio find the female end of the S-Video and it should plug in perfect.Wire it up and enjoy some tunes
