Raf Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 i wouldnt hesitate to buy used on kijii if you are looking to save a few dollars. some guys must have the latest and greatest and upgrade all the time. if you arent one of those guys you can find a decent deal.
Raf Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 show us a pic of how the speakers are connected at the source.. you said earlier that you only have one wire going from the receiver to the sub then the signal gets split out to each speaker at the sub? that's a little unusual and the bad news is you may or may not need speakers too.

Without pulling everything out again Raf,it's a powered sub woofer,with a cable looking somewhat like a flat ,1" wide plug that goes to the back of the receiver. On the back of the sub there are 5 sets of speaker wire connectors.Strip the wire and push them in. Push on the clip to pull out.Standard speaker wire connectors I believe.5 sets,giving you the 5.1.Definitely not a hdmi plug. Edited January 11, 2015 by davey buoy
lookinforwalleye Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Sounds like a good idea to upgrade the receiver....you can get a Denon receiver for a 150 bucks at futureshop these days.

lookinforwalleye Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Sounds to me like we have one of those all in one home theater in a box thingy...speakers should work with a new receiver not sure about the sub though.

lookinforwalleye Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 And a new sub will set you back another 150
davey buoy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 I hear you lol,time to bite the bullet I guess .Thanks guys again.
Raf Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 definately shop around and go used if you can. I bought my JBL sub off kijji for less than that and its a pretty good unit.
davey buoy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Posted January 12, 2015 Found my better sub,model Technics SB-AS40.In this picture shows RCA cables from Receiver's sub woofers out.Input to sub.Think this will work.?. Thanks again guys,this worked well with my Harmon Kardon system a while back.

Thanks again guys,this worked well with my Harmon Kardon system a while back. I still know I need a receiver,but if this can work,will save me half the price.It used to pound pretty good I must say.Hope to hear from you guys soon.Thanks.
lookinforwalleye Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 If your receiver has a sub out it should work...I am thinking it does not.
davey buoy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Posted January 12, 2015 If your receiver has a sub out it should work...I am thinking it does not. Is it Cliff?,when I buy my new one will it have that option?I know this one won't work. Dave.
ccmtcanada Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 I don't see a sub out rca in the pics you posted earlier....unless it was on side not shown in your pic....
davey buoy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Posted January 12, 2015 I don't see a sub out rca in the pics you posted earlier....unless it was on side not shown in your pic.... I'm buying a new 5.1 or better receiver.Forget about the old pics as I have determined it's time to upgrade.The last picture today was to find out if the newer receivers have sub woofer out rca hook ups to work with the sub I posted a little while ago.Thanks
ccmtcanada Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 Any new receiver should have sub output! Great reason to upgrade your audio system by getting that Roku. Good job with that!! Lol
davey buoy Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Posted January 12, 2015 Any new receiver should have sub output! Great reason to upgrade your audio system by getting that Roku. Good job with that!! Lol Great tv,free for the most part,Netflix is what started all this lol.Thanks.I have pictures when I go in to get a receiver .
lookinforwalleye Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Is it Cliff?,when I buy my new one will it have that option?I know this one won't work. Dave. yes it will I was referring to the old one not having a sub out.
Raf Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) ya that sub will work with any newish receiver you will buy. most receivers will have 'only' one channel out for the sub so you'll hook up to either the left or right input on the sub -- shouldn't matter which one. Edited January 13, 2015 by Raf
davey buoy Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks again guys,you made my day.I'll let you know what I end up getting as a receiver. Dave.
davey buoy Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Posted January 14, 2015 Went to get the Denon as recommended.No stock,went home decides ok I'll order it ,back up I go.Out of stock,sold last one while I was gone as I did not know when I was in there earlier. Raised a bit of a stink,not much really lol and they gave me the Pioneer VSX-524-K . In stock,saved about $150 bucks on that one which they matched with the Denon.Set up,works really well all around.The HDMI connections sure make thing easy.One more HDMI cord and I will change my dvd set up as well.No Rca jacks except for the sub.140 watts x 5,has a good punch as well.Thanks guys,glad I upgraded ,had to be done at some point soon.
