Help in hooking up a sub woofer.

Hello Tim,Thank you very much for that information. Getting that Sub with only RCA jacks actually surprised me. I would have never thought it would come like that.To answer one of your original questions which I failed to do; I use my stereo for music only. I'm not much of a TV guy and certainly not a home theater guy, I own 3 dvd's; The Last Waltz, Roy Orbison Black&White and Dr Strangelove, ha.
I have my old "5 Disc" Yamaha CD player, which I kept because it has room for 5 discs for background music during the day. About a year ago I finally made the deep dive in to the digital world and bought a Marantz ND8006. It's a combo CD player and streamer. My first attempt at "streaming". I like the CD player; it's decent enough for me. I also have my faithful old turntable (well it's not that old) but I bought my first record player in 1957 and have had one ever since.My faithful little PSB's still sound pretty good to me and I listen to every thing but opera.
I may be able to incorporate a sub into this system at some point, I am just really jammed for space (hence the "toy")Thanks for responding, and actually telling me what the connection should be, I appreciate it. I really wasn't getting that anywhere else.

Hello 246810,

     Well, it seems like you're not going to buy a decent sub anytime soon due to your lack of space.  Maybe I'll respond to a future thread you post when you're ready to add a sub or two.

Good Luck,
Tim

What you need is a speaker level to line level output converter:

It is just a simple voltage divider, contain two resistor in each channel.

246810,

     This is a viable option but it's not needed if you buy a sub with speaker level inputs, like either of the $500 SVS subs.  $40 you don't really need to spend plus the extra hookup complexity.  Why bother?
