    Default RCA to 2-wire line-in connection

    My home theater receiver has an RCA output for a active subwoofer. I want to connect to a 2-wire line-in on my power amp and then to my passive subwoofer. What's the best way?

    Define 2-wire line-in.

    I assume he means the subwoofer has RCA input for left and right.

    Use a y-cable.
    "Why does your amplifier hum?"
    ...
    "It hums because it doesn't know the words."

    I was thinking he meant something like screw terminals on the input of a board. If that's the case, then you can just cut the connector off one end of your RCA and use the bare wires. Wire the center conductor to the + input and the shield to the - input. I could be wrong though in my ASSumption

    I use a Y right now to left and right , to run amp into DVC sub.

    Question.
    Can I split that single output into four , so I can run two subs ? Each DVC sub would be run off a seperate channel of a spare six channel amp.

    Thanks
