Using receiver for better sound on tv hooked up 2 speakers &subwoofer no sound what are the other wire hook ups and what should be showing on front display to get these speakers working

It depends on the speaker and receiver inputs/outputs. If The speakers have bare wires, and the receiver has spring clamps, you are in luck! Check out what I mean by spring clamps in the image linked below. If you can give the model number of the receiver and describe the wires coming from the subwoofer, I can help a lot more.

For surround sound, you need an A/V receiver with 5.1 or 7.1 surround capability. Depending on what kind of receiver you have, the DVD player, satellite/cable box, etc hooks to the receiver, those signals go out to the TV, and the speakers hook to the receiver. The receiver decodes the signal from the cable/satellite box or DVD player and routes it to the appropriate speakers. If the TV program or DVD isn't HD or coded for surround sound, the best you can expect is 2.1 channel stereo sound. OR, you can hook everything (DVD, satellite/cable box) to the TV and run an optical cable from the Digital Output of the TV to the receiver, which is basically the same thing, just a different way to hook everything up. Hope this helps

THE AMP OR RECEIVER HAS A SPECIAL SUB JACK ON THE BACK OF THE AMP OR RECEIVER THAT THE SUB HOOKS UP TO. IT TAKES A SEPERATE CABLE.

Yes you Can. run them bridged parallel. meaning on the amp where the speaker wires attach there should be labeled with a "+" and "-" with a line drawn to show which terminals to hook the bridge wires up to. bridging takes power from both sides of the amp and puts it into one strong signal on half the wires. from there run your "+" wire to the first "+" on your first speaker. run your second wire from "+" on spk 1 to "+" on spk 2. repeat process from "-" on amp to "-" on first speaker and then to second speaker. __ ' a'"+"________"+"_______+ Good luck, may the force
/ ' 'm'"-" spk spk be with you!
bridged \ '__ ' '"-" ________"-"_______"-"

this will get you the most sound from the amp. if using 4 ohms speakere you will be running a 2 ohm load bridged.

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

If they are single voice coil and are 4 ohm you can bridge your amp and run both speakers off of it so your amp sees a 2 ohm load....better bass that will hit harder....(series wiring) look it up on google....

If you have the Alpine SWR-1222D, that's a dual 2 OHM Sub. So, the way you have it hooked up to the amp ,it's 1 Ohm, and unless your amp can safely operate at 1 OHM, you are better off connecting the voice coils in series so the amp will see 4 OHMS. The link below will show how the connections are made to the amp. Look at example # 1.

Hope this helps!

dual 2 or dual 4

dual 2 wire vc's in series for a 4 ohm load each. Hook each speaker seperate channels on the amp.

dual 4 wire vc in series for an 8 ohm load each. Hook both + to the right + on the amp and both - to the left - on the amp. or

dual 4 wire vc in parallel for a 2 ohm load each and hook each speaker to seperate channels on the amp.

THIS UNIT HAS NO SUB WOOFER AMP IN IT. THE ONLY WAY TO OVER COME THIS IS TO HOOK THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SPEAKERS STRAIGHT TO THE SUB WOOFER AND THEN GO FROM THE SUB WOOFER BACK TO THE INPUTS ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT FOR THE FRONT SPEAKERS. THE SUB WOOFER THIS WAY WILL EXTRACT THE BASS AND THE FRONT WILL RECEIVE THEIR PART. THIS SOUNDS CRAZY AS HELL I KNOW BUT THAT'S HOW I GOT MINE TO WORK. THE OUTPUT FOR THE SUBWOOFER IS USELESS AND PUT THERE FOR YOU TO HOOK UP AN AMP FOR A SUB WOOFER. EVERYTHING HAS SHORT COMINGS, AND THAT'S THE ONE FOR THE AX-720.

just use any negative wire you only need one wire from the negetive.
