HOOKING UP THE SONY SA-WM20 TO AN AUDIOPHILE PREAMP
I am connecting two (2 channel) speakers to the SA-WM20 subwoofer. There is an input terminal above the speaker connections to the subwoofer. What should be connected to that terminal?
I am trying to connect the subwoofer (cable tv, plasma and dvd player) to my conrad johnson SA120 amplifier and PV10BL preamp which only has the following rear inputs: main out, tape out, tape in, aux 2, video, cd, tuner and aux1/ph. It's a bit confusing since the sony dvd player has the three (red/white/blue) rca jack hookup. Can anyone lend a hand to this audiophile novice? Much appreciated, Carlos.

You can't hook it up to your preamp. If the sub has speaker level inputs you would use them to hook it up to your amp speaker terminals. The left positive and negative goes to the corresponding left positive and negative at the amplifier and the same for the right channel.
Just to the left of the output (speaker) terminals, near the top of the amp, there's an LED marked "POWER/PROTECTOR". If the amp is connected properly and powered on, the LED is ON.
If the amp is being used for normal speakers, use a pair of RCA cables and connect the left/right channels to the appropriate inputs on the amp. The switch marked "LPF" should be "OFF".
If the amp is being used with the channels bridged for a subwoofer, use an RCA "Y" adapter and connect the single "Sub Out" preamp output from the head unit to both amp inputs. The switch marked "LPF" should be "ON" and the crossover set to about 80-100Hz.
what r you hooking it to is #1 rca wires r the way to go when hooking up a subwoofer up .some subwoofers have 2 rcas on them one input and one output the in put is mono if what your going to hook it to has rcas on it then the left one is a mono output but if its an audio system then it mit have a subwoofer output on it
Um, its hard to understand you, but to my understanding you don't know which is positive and which is negative... Striped= Positive, bold= Negative, or Red= Positive, black =Negative. Lastly + positive - negative
As long as your sony reciever has a sub out connection you should be able too. This powered sub you have has a rca sub input which should coincide with the receivers rca sub out.
you can do this one of two ways, you can use just the left "mono" on your sub or use a y connector. If the sub doesn't show the left as mono then YES you need a y cable
Connect a set of stereo RCA cables from the 'Output 2' on the Hafler to the line imputs on the Sub.Turn on the '1+2' output switch on the Hafler and rock out!
Great visuals, thank you!
