    I keep hearing about people doing this and I have two extra subwoofers sitting around that I'm not using. One is powered and the other is not. How exactly do you guys connect them to your pins? Is there a Vid's Guide to hooking up an external sub post that I can't find?

    Thanks much!

    My powered sub connects via a single line cable. I'll have to post some pictures. I'm not sure what I would alligator clip it to.

    The non-powered sub connects via normal speaker wire and clips make perfect sense there.

    Here are some pictures. How would I hook this to a game? Or can it be hooked to a game??

    Quoted from papazit1963:

    In this case polarity shouldn't matter.

    By that do you mean it doesn't matter which of the two cables goes to which side of the sub in the game? I do not think RCA and speaker cable exists as an over the counter purchase. I'll check though.

    never mind... they do seem to exist... this is what I need right?
