A:

the transmitter has R/L line in (in addition to the sub). On the sub side (receiver) use the low pass filter (crossover adjustment) to match your speakers. If you do not have extra L/R outs purchase good quality splitters (2) for each L and R on the receiver. It will work!

A:

Refer to your manual to where your Zone 2 and Zone 3 Out are located. If your sub has the ability to control what frequency cutoff it handles (ideally set it around 80-100hz) you could take a RCA cable splitter so that you would have 2 RCA outputs for the Left and Right Zone 2 Out. You would then send a L/R signal to your external power source for the speakers and a L/R signal to the wireless transmitter for the subwoofer.

Is there sufficient output?

Q:

I have an old AR Sub with only a gain control and R and L Low Level inputs and cannot get enough volume from my Sub using a Dayton transmitter/receiver.

Would the Rockfish produce any more volume.

A:

There are no volume/level controls on this unit. Is your subwoofer powered, as in has its own amp? That may be your problem, it has to be hooked to an amp. You could get an amp and wire it between this wireless unit and your sub.

A:

There is no volume control for the wireless unit. I have found if I do not have my amp turned up high enough to produce a good base, the unit will not even activate. In my opinion this is fine as I only keep it down when others in the house may be trying to sleep. I purchased a sub with a volume control built in to it, so I can turn it up higher even without needing to adjust the amp. Not sure really if this answered your question for what you were looking for, but at Best Buy one good thing is you can return it if it doesn't.

old school audio amp without a subwoofer connection - will this work?

Q:

I have an old school Onkyo Amp that cranks fine, just has no subwoofer output. How will this work with it? Can i plug the rear speakers out or the B channels L and R out into the transmitter and just use the subwoofer connection at the sub? I am old and confuse easily.

A:

I forgot to add you will need a Y connector to complete the connection. Best Buy sells them and if you explain your situation a geek should fix you up with what you will need. Two female in and one male out should do the trick.

A:

It should work with either set up because the device will transmit both L and R signals from the amp to your sub. The preferred choice would be to use the B channel. At the sub just use the single RCA to drive the sub.

This would allow you to use the red/white RCA connections at the stereo and the subwoofer connection at the subwoofer. This kit allows you to transmit the signal wirelessly across a room as well as allow you to use different connections types.

As long as your Kenwood sub has a line in for input, and your receiver has a line out for sub, it should work as expected.

A:

The transmitter-receiver kit works to send the signal, but the receiver is not an amplifier, so your subwoofer needs to be (must have a power cord of its own). The wire has RCA plugs, so if you have speaker-wire you will need to buy an RCA-speaker-wire kit as well, which you will find at any electronics parts store.

Intermitent outage

Q:

I am a Best Buy manager and have a customer with this kit. He complains that while watching a movie the red light will come on showing no connection and he does not get the base sounds. Once he turns it off and back on then it will work again for a while before losing connection again. Some one has told him the light is only green when base is being transmitted and it is working fine. Can you verify this for me either way?

A:

If he is still getting sound from his subwoofer, it has not disconnected. If he is not getting sound from his subwoofer, it has disconnected.If it is truly disconnecting, he may need to re-examine the way he is hooked up. He should not use a Y-connector if his subwoofer does not have an LFE input. Only use right or left input; using both makes the subwoofer see 2 inputs and sum them (double them). This in turn will make you set the level at the receiver low enough that the transmitter will intermittently loose it. Also, the level setting at the subwoofer should be set at the mid-level at the start of the set-up. Setting it at max could also cause the LFE output at the receiver to be set too low.

A:

Same issue with the one I bought, I just don't think it is sensitive enough by design. Light turns red when no input is detected after 15 mins and turns blue when a signal is present. I have found that it takes an especially strong bass note or very high volume to get it to turn on. At normal listening volume you miss about 99% of the bass that normally goes to the sub when using a standard cable.

A:

That just means that for that moment of the movie or tv show you watching dont produce a strong bass signal for that moment. But once it does the blue light will come back up and it will start working again. Also you can raise your volume just a notch and the signal will be delivered. It happens to me also.

A:

Suggest your customer try running the amp at a high volumn and see if the problem continues. If it doesn't I would suggest the problem is low volumn output from the amplifiers subwoofer output. Perhaps a audio booster might solve the problem. Ligh is red when the unit is not receiving a signal.

For this unit, it will show a solid blue light when the sender and receiver are paired and a flashing blue light when the units are not paired. Depending on the age of their unit, the LED may be a different color but it should only be one color.
