I have a question that might sound elementary......... But I am audio challenged!
I have a set of 5 speakers (8ohm if that matters) and a subwoofer from a Pioneer HTS where the amp/receiver has blown out. I picked up a Yamaha HTR5840 to replace it, and the subwoofer OUT on it is a female RCA jack. I spliced an RCA jack to the +/- speaker wires from the subwoofer and plugged that in to the amp/receiver but No Bass?
I have set up the subwoof thru the amp/receiver setup program.
Reading thru some previous threads is sounds like I have a "passive" subwoof as opposed to a "powered" one. Is there any way to make a "passive" one work with the new amp/receiver with some type of adapter? Or just get a new powered subwoof?
I appreciate any insight to this...........
