Bought the wrong subwoofer!

I can’t return the sub because I bought it from the original owner who also bought and didn’t use it. Also don’t have the box.

i am looking into conversion adapters while also list it for sale and trade.

rec out is not an option as the sub will stay at the same volume regardless of the amps volume setting.

as far as google, I’ve always thought of forums like this as places to seek help and share with others interested in similar pursuits.

There’s gotta be a way to connect the sub

I refuse to believe a receiver has no way to connect to a sub

There are speaker level to line level adapters. There seems to be some disagreement over whether you need a second set of speaker terminals to connect it to or if you can piggyback it to the same terminals that are driving your main speakers. I think this would compromise the sound of at least your subwoofer if not the mains speakers as well but don’t know just guessing.

Call SVS and see if they have a seller/buyer warranty transfer policy. You need the serial number. Power Sound Audio has a seller/buyer warranty transfer policy that’s good for up to 5 years. And SVS has their own policies too and you may be able to return or trade up for one that suits your needs. Wouldn’t hurt to try.

If you can’t return it to SVS, I think they also sell the boxes for their subs for shipping, as this scenario happens all the time and then you can re-sell to anywhere.
