How to wire a subwoofer?

Question

I have a Kicker DX 250watt amp with two RCA inputs and two RCA outs, I have two RCA cables connected from the Pionner CD player to the RCA inputs on the amp, but I need to take that signal to the subwoofer, except the subwoofer terminals are not designed for RCA cables. They push down to allow a wire to go in and then close to seal the connection. So how I am I suppose to wire the subwoofer? Thanks for any info.

Answer 1

If your not experienced I wouldn't even play around. Go to best buy geek squad.. They'd hook it up for like $40.

Answer 2

In car audio, RCA cables are used for low-level audio signals and speaker wire is used for speaker-level audio. You should be using the amp's RCA inputs for the signal from the head unit, then use speaker wire to connect the subwoofer to the amp's speaker outputs. Do not connect the sub to the amp's RCA outputs; that won't work. The RCA outputs on the amp are used to connect a second amplifier.
