The connection on the receiver would be the sub woofer out. Not a sub woofer out LFE, a sub woofer out with speaker wire connection. From there you plug it in to the top section of the available terminals on the sub you are referring to (speaker level input). One in positive and the other in negative matching what you did on the receiver with correct ends. The speaker connections underneath the top connections is for additional speakers like surrounds to be able to be connected directly to the sub woofer speaker level out for sound. This of course would be for an older receiver connection. I do not think it is possible to convert this connection to an LFE and have it work properly. If the receiver does not have sub woofer speaker connection and only a RCA out then you can try to connect both rear speaker connections from the receiver to the speaker level inputs on the sub and then connect your rear speakers to the speaker level output on the sub to power them. This is an active sub woofer but for some reason they made it connect as if it was passive. I am not sure if this sub is designed for really low frequencies required for movie or if it is better for music.

Problems with JBL PSW D110

The speaker level input option is designed for receivers that don't have digital output for the sub, used this way when you set to digital the speaker outputs only get the higher range outputs so won't reproduce much bass. To get the sub to work in digital mode you need to use the digital output (single RCA) from the amp to the sub

JBL amp, worked fine untill 2 days ago. protection light on..

might have roasted your speakers voice coils a little which may be sending the amp into protect mode throw a speaker on it that you know works and if it doesnt trigger the protect circuit then you probably have a blown or almost sub.

How to connect the wires of jbl sub 145

what kind of conections do you have on the back of the sub you should either have RCA connections or just one RCA connection or a place for speaker wire to plug directly into it. IF you have RCA connections in back i would use those they will connect directly to your system if your system had and a sub pre out on it read your manual and follow those instructions as well it will help

When i connect both subs(jbl gt 1041d) my amp goes to protection and when i ony hook one up it doesnt go to protection

Hello lilcylentsur,

It sounds like when you connect both subs, the impedance match is too low for the amp to handle. 2 4-ohm DVC subs with both the coils and subs wired in parallel will present a 1-ohm load which is too low for most amps.

The solution is to wire the voice coils in series, (connect a short jumper from one positive to the other negative on each sub). and then wire the remaining terminals to your amp. This will result in a 4-ohm load which most amps can handle.

Here's a "wiring wizard" which allows you to see the ohm loads of different wiring configurations.

Hope this helps.

Partial sound from my JBL E60 Towers

Are there 4 inputs on the back of the speakers? If so, you either need to hook up all four, or connect the upper and lower inputs to each other. The speakers come with gold plates that connect the upper and lower inputs, but you can just use speaker wire to connect them. At least that is what I did on the used set of speakers I bought when one plate was missing.

JBL TLX PS10 Subwoofer - Does not work

If you have checked the fuses which it sounds like you have, your amp may be out. Take that RCA and plug it into the other speaker. If thar she blows, treat as warranty and call the factory. If this is helpful, please post as such.

SUB WOLFER WIRING

im assuming you have 2 subs that are DVC? if thats the case, wire from the positive on the amp to the positive voice coil 1 on sub 1 to the positive on voice coil 1 on sub 2. then do the same with the negative sides. then on the second voice coil of sub 1, connect a wire from positive to negative. do the same for sub 2.

It should be better to use the Pioneer GM-7200M Amp with your subs.

For 8 ohm setup hook up this way:
Amp out+ to Sub1 +
Sub1 - to Sub 2 +
Amp out - to Sub2 -

For 2 ohm setup hook up this way:
Amp + to Sub1 +
Sub1 + to Sub2 +
Amp - to Sub1 -
Sub1 - to Sub2 -
