[QUOTE="Jack Savage, post: 217100, member: 15867"] Helped a friend of mine move into a smaller place. He was getting rid of his [URL='https://d2um2qdswy1tb0.cloudfront.net/product-images/R-10SWi-BackPanel.jpg']Klipsch R-10SWi[/URL] wireless subwoofer. I have a [URL='https://images.reverb.com/image/upload/s--g7h96AeG--/a_exif,c_limit,e_unsharp_mask:80,f_auto,fl_progressive,g_south,h_1600,q_80,w_1600/v1515971998/dj47s6onho4gnphkql3n.jpg']Pioneer VSX-321[/URL] 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 [URL='https://d2um2qdswy1tb0.cloudfront.net/product-manuals/R-10SWiR-12SWi-Manual.pdf']subwoofer manual online[/URL] and It describes two or three ways to wire it to your amp: [LIST=1] [*]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 [/LIST] I tried to get the wireless transmitter to work with no luck. I made sure it was powered on and synced with the subwoofer, but still couldn't get signal. I had it plugged into the "SURR BACK PRE OUT L (Single)" output on the back of the receiver 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 [URL='http://docs.pioneer.eu/Manuals/HTP_071_ARB7463_manual/?page=24']adjusting the SW speaker settings (page 24)[/URL] 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. [/QUOTE]
