    this appears to be the most popular option out there and I have one and getting ready to buy another one. I have one question on the hook up. the manual reads terribly on hook ups. this is how I have mine for Deadpool and Metallica but a friend questioned how I have the wires. is this how everyone else has theirs? a friend helped me set mine up.

    Quoted from mbwalker:

    Where do the wires go to in the pin? We need to know if it's a high level connection (i.e.) or low level (i.e. sub line out).

    I have them clipped directly to the stock subwoofer

    Quoted from mbwalker:

    Just a hunch, but you might be overloading the low-level inputs on the Polk, so that's why the connection sounds better using the speaker inputs. Since I don't have a Polk, one thing I don't know is how the Polk level control is wired in the low level circuit. Or you might have the connections wired wrong (i.e. speaker + not going to + input on the RCA connector). Again, just a guess.
    If you are a DIY kinda person and want to also use the sub's amp, then get one of these. It's purpose is to take a speaker level signal and convert it to a low level input (i.e. RCA). It also provides a balanced to unbalanced connection.
    Of course, if you are uncomfortable wiring yourself, support one the vendors in this thread that supplies a prewired kit! [quoted image]

    You have my interest peeked, would I just tap into the wires right at the subwoofer just like I added to for the subwoofer?
