Yamaha AV57 subwoofer what cable does it take from amp to subwoofer?

Poppycat

Hi guys I moved house many months ago but in the rush I lost the cable that goes to the subwoofer from the amp for the yamaha av57 amp

Can anyone tell me if they have one what cable is it? I have a sneeky felling its rca I really could do with my surround sound now aftre the endless jobs of getting our home ready etc

Thanks

just use standard speaker cable, it's not an RCA connector it's got the spring loaded clips so you just open them and stick the cable in.

although the speaker cable that comes with them is a bit naff so better to buy some decent quality cable.

Thanks it isnt speaker cable I got some of that, well I did last time I loked.

At the back of teh subwoofer is two phono sockets I think they are a couple of mm in size one is marked input (R) the other Mono (L) I am sure the amp though only had one output and cabel was quite short had to have amp near tv a few feet away where as speaker cable is about 20foot in length.

Whats best way to hide speaker cable arond skirting, we cant go under floor boards as we have laminate and one cable has to go along a fireplace hearth.

Thanks

actually i'm lying! it's a single RCA lead.

Serves me right for being lazy and not getting off my *rse.

i used trunking to hide mine. Sky cables and phone line go along the skirting board in trunking and the speaker cables are in trunking along the top of the walls.


oh and the cable goes in Mono L

aye, mines just a black RCA cable going into it. Nothing special and it does the job nicely.
