How do I connect a subwoofer to my speakers?


I have Definitive Technology BP7006 speakers in my theatre system. One with a blown amp, and the other on the way. I want to hook up one subwoofer. All my wires are in the walls. Can I connect the subwoofer to the speaker terminals on my DTs? thanks in advance.

No...the correct way is to connect the sub via rca coaxial cable from your receiver. Usually, the sub has a built in amp.
hook your sub to the speaker wire, run more wire to the Def Techs from the high pass output on the sub, assuming it has them.

this will make your sub the bass speakers for your Def Techs

if you want the subs as the .1 in a 5.1 system, you will have to hook them up to the sub out of your receiver/pre-amp
Audionut, if I get you right, two wires from sub Hi Out to the terminals on my DTs? That be the deal? That's what I had thought, but you're the first, If I'm hearing your right.
thanks
