Helped a friend of mine move into a smaller place. He was getting rid of his Klipsch R-10SWi wireless subwoofer. I have a Pioneer VSX-321 stereo system and figured I could connect it to replace the subwoofer already present in the system for some more kick.
The problem I'm facing is that I haven't been able to get any signal from the receiver to the sub.
Looked through the subwoofer manual online and It describes two or three ways to wire it to your amp:
I also tried going the wired routed by using a 2-male RCA cable running from the receiver to the subwoofer left/right inputs as described in option 3 above.
Looked at the pioneer manual too. The only thing I could find to try and get it working was adjusting the SW speaker settings (page 24) to the 'PLUS' setting.
Am I SOL with my current setup and just need to upgrade to a better receiver? Given that my only sub output on my amp is a speaker wired connection and the sub doesn't support that, I have a feeling that is the case.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Looked through the subwoofer manual online and It describes two or three ways to wire it to your amp:
- Wireless, using the provided wireless transmitter
- Wired, using a single cable from LFE in (SW) to LFE out (Amp)
- Wired, using left and right channel pre-amp outputs from the amp to the Left/LFE and Right input on the subwoofer
