I've just got an old sony sub which was going to be thrown out. There's one RCA input which appears to take line level, and also another cable, which I'm guessing is for power. It originally came with another hi-fi system, which obviously had the correct voltage output to power the sub. It's a very small white connection, on a thin 2 core cable. I'm guessing it probably only requires a low voltage to power it, but I don't know what voltage that would be, and if it would be AC or DC. I'm guessing DC?
Anyway, I can't find a free manual to download anywhere, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows the power input required to run a sony ss-WG990 subwoofer.
-   WTF!!! someones gota figure this out!!! try McGyverin togather a power supply from another sub. might work, might not. thats what im going to try but just be carefull-   deadeloth
I just got one of these units, the SONY SS-WG990.
The RCA cable is direct conection to the speaker.
It requires external AMP.
The other cable is just for the system switch and LED.
If you just have this unit, all you need is an AMP to
feed it.
Well all you need is original system, I got one. The voltage for the sub is about DC 15.5V-15.9V 100%. But theres another problem for me, the subwoofer is active or this only is for the led? I don't believe that you need 15V only for led, so I think it's active, it has internal AMP that uses that current.
i got an 8 inch sony ss-wg990 and i am powering it with a 50 watt amp put i am putting a bigger one on there but if you dont want the sub i will take it becuse i am puttin them on my computer and i need another one
