My old receiver had the terminal connectors for the subwoofer and the replacement (not new) receiver has a RCA style subwoofer connector. The subwoofer has an AC plug.


My question - is it possible to splice the wires (using an old RCA plug as a donor) from the subwoofer to the RCA plug? Hopefully this makes sense.


Here's a diagram of what I'm working with:

Would this be possible?:

-- Edit --


As I'm looking for an answer, I just came across these cables below. I'll have to check when I get home how the wires connect to the back of my powered subwoofer, however, I do believe it has standard wire terminals, not RCA connectors. Would it be possible to use a cable (like below) and cut off the red and black connectors and connect those bare wires straight to the wire terminals on the back of the subwoofer (and connect the end with the single RCA plug to the receiver)?

I found this on Ebay. This is basically what I'm looking for an wondering if it would work.

Tell us what the sub is and what the AVR is. I am afraid that I do not find you explanation clear.

it might work but it depends on how strong new receiver drives the sub woofer. Inhrently these are two different types of inputs.... RCA is a low level signal with a peak voltage of 2v. Speaker level inputs have much larger voltage swings....


Its not going to work well if it does work... recommendation. replace the HTIB subwoofer.....


sorry, but HTIB setups are seldomly designed to work in more modular systems.....

Please disregard. I just got home from work to take a look at the back of the subwoofer and it has the RCA plug, not the 2 speaker wires that I was referring to above.


My apologies. Last night when I was removing the broken receiver, I just remember pulling those speaker wires from the terminal connectors and didn't remember unplugging a RCA for the sub.
