You can not connect subwoofer to this model of amplifier.

    OK! Bugger!! .. but if I splice the RCA lead into the speaker "outs", would this not work? If so, have you any suggestions as to how I might best do this? Many thanks! [am a novice at this, as you might have picked up ..]

    It is bad idea to connect subwoofer into speakers outs. Even if it works - the quality of sound will be worse than you expect to hear.

  • steve ashwell Sep 27, 2013

    Hear you loud and clear [unfortunately]. Any other suggestions?

  • steve ashwell Sep 27, 2013

    .. will this damage the SW in any way? And will it sounds so dreadfully pants that I'll notice?

  • Unknown Person Sep 27, 2013

    Unfortunately, there is only one suggestion, I think. Get new amplifier, compatible with subwoofer. Or, if this amlifier is unreplaceble - connect Hi-End speakers and enjoy deep sound without subwoofer. This amp is enough powered to make sound from good speakers deep and loud.

    Ok, you've won. Back it goes .. xx

    Guess I'm too late, but you can connect it. You need a speaker level to line level converter

I have a Yamaha YST-SW315 subwoofer power amp only detached from the unit I want to know what else I can use that detached amplifier for other than that unit which I have no longer?

The Yamaha YST-SW315 subwoofer power amplifier is designed specifically for use with the YST-SW315 subwoofer. It may not be compatible with other subwoofers or audio equipment due to differences in impedance, power requirements, and signal levels. If you no longer have the YST-SW315 subwoofer, it is not recommended to use the power amplifier for other purposes. It is important to match the amplifier with the appropriate load (speaker) and signal source to avoid damaging the equipment or creating a safety hazard. Using the amplifier for other purposes may also void any warranty or insurance coverage.

Check the wires from the sub to the stereo the issue sounds like a bad connection from the head unit try unhooking the sub trim the wires some and restrip them then hook them back up see if that helps if not try a different head unit if it dose the same on the other unit then the sub is toast hope this helps

How do I connect the YST-SW45 sub to a different system

It's a standard non-proprietary standalone self-powered sub that accepts any input one could want. Your unnamed electronics will be the determining factor. Manuals spell it all out.

I have a yamaha yst sw320 subwoofer connected to a yamaha dsp-a595a amp. I recently disconnected my equipment and when i reconnected it im getting a feedback hum/noise through the sub. I've tried...

Subs don't go to a variety of connections on the amp. Let's stop guessing and stick with the prescribed one.

Register and download the manuals for free at retrevo.com

http://www.retrevo.com/support/Yamaha-YST-SW320-Subwoofers-manual/id/320bh340/t/2/

See page E1 regarding placement and safety.

http://www.retrevo.com/support/Yamaha-DSP-A595-Amps-manual/id/319ag821/t/2/

Page 44 - read about "humming".

If you have hum on the sub, is it there with and/or without the input cable attached?

Disconnect the input(s) and see if it hums in the absence of an audio source. A bad audio cable shield or unwisely-routed audio cables will allow entrance of unwanted signals from external power sources, magnetic fields, even dimmer-controlled track lights. Sometimes, simply reversing the orientation of the ac power plug can eliminate humming.

I have a problem with my yamaha subwoofer yst sw 215 after about 5 minutes of use it gets this continuous bass vibration through the the sound outlet like its stuck on a bass sound any ideas

could be a problem with one of the filters inside or a short circuit... your best bet would be to have someone skilled in electronics look at it, and stop using it as you may permanently damage your speaker.

Yamaha YST-SW320 subwoofer won't play sound

I too have amplifier and speakers thatI rent for parties, and sometimes when I connect them they don't work and I battle with them for hours before I find the out that its just a little thing that happened, like speaker wire might have cut inside, or the wire conneted for the CD to Amplifier is bad and son on.

But I will advice that you test your amplifier and woofer, with another equipment independently to be sure if they still working well or not. As this will help you to know what to do next.

May somthing happened to one of them the last time you used it and you did not notice, and it might just need some servicing.

Best wishes

I recently purchased a yamaha YST-FSW100 subwoofer and plugged connected it to my HTR 6140. Subs woulld not work. How will Iknow which devise is not working?

Turn the sub on, then touch the end of the sub lead when you take it out of the back of the amp..it should buzz to show the sub is ok . If the sub is ok then go through the setup on the Yamaha and tell it there is a sub connected in the speaker setup.
