Hooking up subwoofer to speakers - Theater Research TR-2810 Main / Stereo Speaker

u need 3 aux cords put them in to each of the outputs on the stereo n plug the other end in to each speaker

Depends on the type of sound system. Some require you to hook up to the subwoofer then the subwoofer to the sound system, others are just a direct line in to the sound system (in which case simply un hook the sub woofer. If it requires hook ups to the woofer, see if you can turn the volume down on the woofer directly.

For powered sub :If your receiver has a sub woofer output on female RCA plug, that is the way to go. If no output you will have to get a speaker line to line output converter to then connect to your subwoofer amp input.

Unpowered sub - just hook up across the speaker terminals for each channel making sure that you hook it up in phase.

If you receiver has tape monitor outputs, you can hook the sub up to those.

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

Hooking up a subwoofer is dependent upon what hookups are availble on the receiver and subwoofer. Does your receiver have a specific subwoofer output? If so, is it set of speaker-wire terminals, or is it an RCA jack? The Wharfedale can accomodate either one of these as an input. There are four speaker posts on the back of the subwoofer, and there is a single RCA jack input.

How much is your speaker max wattage?
If it is 750 or below, it can only be used on one channel, either the right or the left.
If speaker can handle 1500 watts then hook the positive speaker wire to R+
Hook black negative speaker wire to L-

Now it is bridged

How did you connect it to your receiver?

There are not RCA Hookups on any Raw Subwoofer. An amplifier takes an RCA input signal (DC) and turns it into AC to the speaker.
This is a raw driver. It has wire push terminals just like any other driver (speaker).

The 'Subwoofer' output on your receiver is used to connect to a powered subwoofer with a built in amplifier. Your KLH speakers use what is called a 'passive' subwoofer, it gets its power from the receiver and then passes the higher frequencies to the left and right front speakers after taking out the low frequencies for the subwoofer. A speaker system with a passive subwoofer is good for casual listening, but a powered subwoofer is required for really hearing low frequencies and rumble in movies. The KLH speakers you have were highly rated in their time for their price. The four satellite speakers and center channel speaker have very good sound compared to the little 'midget' surround sound speakers most people buy today.

Here's how you hook them up:

- The left and right front channels from your receiver terminals should go to the terminals on the subwoofer marked 'From Amplifier'
- Your left and right front speakers are then connected to the subwoofer terminals marked 'To Speakers', they do not connect directly to your receiver.
- Your center speaker is connected to your receiver terminals marked 'Center'
- Your rear speakers are connected to your receiver terminals marked 'Surround'

That should get you up and running. If the bass isn't good enough with the passive subwoofer, you can get a decent powered subwoofer like the Velodyne VX-10 for about $150 and 'kick it up a notch'. Good luck and enjoy....
