Subwoofer Want to hook it up to a stereo receiver

I would try going into the menu settings on your receiver to make sure that the subwoofer is turned on or that the volume is turned up. If it is a powered subwoofer you can try hooking the output of a phone or an iPod to the input cable just to test and see if you are getting sound through the subwoofer. If that seems to be working ok then you know the problem lies with the receiver.

very good ! there is nothig wrong with your system, buy a stereo to mono RCA jack (Rs10/-) and connect the subwoofer (if single coiled) L+ & R-- of your existing amplifier. NB: Please go through the manual of amplifier
.

your sub woofer is partly shorted check the output transistor of your sub woofer before pluging to the receiver or this will damage your receiver

Make sure the subwoofer is hooked up correctly and powered. Also, be sure to make sure the subwoofer is turned on in the Head Unit's settings which can usually be accessed via a button on the face of the Head Unit.

maybe you need to replace a fuse?
is it hooked up correctly

Sounds like you have everything hooked up properly. Make sure the outlet is providing AC power to the sub. Check the power switch on the sub.

If it is not working still; bring it back and swap it for another one before you warranty runs out.

You can do this through a receiver (like a stereo receiver). Hook the tv up to line 1 and the computer up to line 2, then hook the stereo receiver output to the input of your subwoofer. Then shift the receiver from line 1 to line 2 (as easy as pressing a button on the front of the receiver) to hear either one through your speakers.

If your receiver has a dedicated subwoofer line level output, we recommend connecting your subwoofer to this jack. Most receivers will have just one (mono) subwoofer output, while quite a few subs require two inputs. You can use an RCA "Y" adapter cord , which is a cable with one female RCA jack at one end, and two male RCA plugs at the other. Some receivers require menu settings (such as "sub-on" or "front speakers-small") that must be made before the sub output will be active.

i think uyou have to got to stereo mode and turn ion the subwoofer option. i have a h/k thats wart i had to do in evvery mode is designate the s/w. rating please

Well, as I know, your Cerwin Vega subwoofer is designed for use with stereo systems. Therefore, it has only 2 channels for input, and 2 channels for output as well. However, you can try this out; the first thing I suggest is that you hook up your main front channels through the subwoofer. All you have to do is to connect the subwoofer input to the front channel output on the amp, then hook up your front speakers to the satellite output on the subwoofer. As long as you make sure that system is working on 8 ohms, I believe this can activate the subwoofer.
