What cable can I use for subwoofer?

RCA
Regardless of what type of connection is available, be it RCA or direct wired, it is highly recommended to use shielded, heavy gauge cabling specifically designed for subwoofers. Such cables provide a cleaner, more noise-free audio signal.

Do I need special cable for subwoofer?

Subwoofers do not require any specific form of audio cabling. The specific type of cable needed to connect a subwoofer to an audio system will depend on the audio input jacks built onto the subwoofer itself.

How do I connect my subwoofer to my RCA cable?

Connect Using Stereo RCA or Speaker Level Outputs If the subwoofer’s LINE IN uses RCA cables and the subwoofer out on the receiver/amplifier also uses RCA, plug it in using an RCA cable. If the cable is split on one end (a y-cable for both right and left channels), plug it in the R and L ports on the subwoofer.

Can I use stereo cable for subwoofer?

Registered. Yes you can, as I did in the past. But what may happen is that unless the cable is adequately shielded, it may pick up radio signals and you could occasionally hear some radio sound through the subwoofer when the receiver even isn’t sending anything to it.

Is subwoofer cable different from RCA?

An RCA cable connects a subwoofer to a receiver with an audio signal sent to the standard left, right, and center channels with a coaxial connection. A subwoofer cable typically contains the same wiring but has additional shielding added to reduce the speaker hum and provide greater sound clarity.

Is a subwoofer cable the same as an RCA cable?

Can you make a subwoofer cable?

Powered subwoofers used in home theater systems use a very specific type of cable for connection to the home theater receiver. If you’d like to make your own cable, either to save some money or to make a custom-length cable, you can do it with some basic materials and simple tools.

Can I use RCA cable for speakers?

An RCA cable is also used to connect a subwoofer or LFE (Low Frequency Effects) output to the subwoofer. Speaker wire, on the other hand, is used solely for hooking up the speakers. Speaker wire also can be used to connect to a passive subwoofer, which is not able to amplify the signal from a line level RCA input.

Why does my subwoofer have 2 inputs?

Dual input allows the subwoofer an extra sensitivity adjustment. Normally, it would be enough to use a mono LFE subwoofer signal from its processor. By using both inputs with the same mono signal doubles the subwoofer sensitivity. This means that there is now only half the signal strength to drive it to full output.
