Whats the best home theater speakers out there?

Durabrand HT-400 Digital Home Theater System? Hookin' Up Subwoofer???

  • I bought a Durabrand HT-400 Digital Home Theater at a pawn shop and it didn't come with instructions on how to hook up the subs. I got all the satillite speakers hooked up fine, cause it was pretty much hook red to red and black to black. I just bought a subwoofer from the same pawn shop (cause it was the cheapest one I've found and had a built in amp). But anyhow, my question is, how do I hook the sub to my system? It has the input and output red and black jacks in the back, along as one other source of connection. The other connection is kinda like what ya usually see on tvs where ya hook up to video games to. But I don't know if my system has that kind of connection. If it doesn't whats the best way to hook it up? Any help would be great. And if anyone has a site that has the owners manual would be great if ya could let me know. Thanks again ya'all.

  • Answer:

    Before you bring the sub-woofer home, make sure it has a fairly heavy cord with a 1" wide connector on each end. If the sub is not the same make as your amplifier/receicer for your system, the connections may be different. Make sure the two things are compatible. If they are, here's what you do. (1) Hook all your speakers to the proper connections on the back of the sub. (2) Hook that cable I told you came with the sub between the connection on the sub & the one on your amp. (3) Plug the power cord for the sub into your surge protector, along with each piece of your system that has a power cord. That's the way my Panasonic 800 watt system hooks up.

Hey there, when you hooked up your satellites it was likely to a receiver. Your receiver should also have an output (RCA type - same as on the back of vcr's etc) marked subwoofer on the back. Run a subwoofer cable (or a regular analog vcr patch cable will work too) from there to one of the rca inputs on the back of the sub. If they're marked L and R try the L one first.
