How do you connect a subwoofer to a stereo?

Audio Speaker FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Qu...
Many subwoofers contain their own amplifier and crossover. For these, take the preamp output and feed it into the subwoofer amp input and also into the main amplifier. For other subwoofers, just run them in parallel with your main speakers, or combine them into your system with your own bass amplifier and crossover. Some A/V receivers contain a splitter specifically for use with subwoofers.

How can I connect my active subwoofer to a stereo amplifier?

Magnat Audio Produkte GmbH - Home und Car Hifi - Lautspreche...
Your subwoofer possesses a left and a right high-level input and you will need an appropriately long and thick normal loudspeaker cable to connect to your amplifier. Either connect the subwoofer to the same output terminals to which your speakers are connected. Doing so will mean that the speakers and the subwoofer will run in parallel in the low-bass range. Due to the fact that the subwoofer is high-ohmic, this will cause no problems where impedances are concerned.

How do I connect a powered subwoofer?

Energy Speakers
Connecting a powered subwoofer is extremely simple. Most of today's digital home theater receivers or processors have a dedicated "Subwoofer Output" connection (RCA or Low-Level). Simply connect a male to male RCA connector from the output on your receiver/processor to the subwoofer input on the subwoofer. If your receiver/processor does not have a subwoofer output, using speaker wire (high-level) from the Front Left and Front Right amplifier outputs is recommended.

Apple - iPod - FAQ
Yes. Third-party stereo adapters are available for listening to your iPod music library using home stereo speakers. Compatible devices must be self-powered and support audio output through a 3.5-mm headphone jack. For optimal sound quality when using external speakers, set the iPod volume at less than half the maximum output and adjust your listening volume through your stereo controls. This prevents overamplification, which can cause distortion and reduced audio quality.

Which subwoofer will sound the loudest?

Subwoofers Frequently Asked Questions
If you're looking for the sub that will deliver maximum SPL (play loudest), you need to consider sensitivity, enclosure type, and available power. Start with a subwoofer with a high efficiency (sensitivity) rating housed in a ported or bandpass box. Next, power the sub with an amplifier that has a power output that is within your sub's recommended power range (preferably in the top third of that range). You'll achieve the slam you're listening for.

Which subwoofer will sound the deepest?

Subwoofers Frequently Asked Questions
To experience the lowest possible bass tones, select a large woofer designed for use in a sealed box. This type of enclosure is your best bet for driving your frequency response down. Ample wattage is also a must if you want to hear those lowest bass notes. A woofer with a very low frequency response spec can help deliver extremely low notes. Additionally, larger woofers, because of their size and excursion capabilities, often have the ability to play deeper than smaller woofers.

But you may not realize how Poly-Fill can help your bass. Stuffing your enclosure with the right amount of Poly-Fill can make your box behave like it's larger than it really is. This comes in handy if the volume of the box you've built turns out to be a hair shy of the cubic air space recommended for your subwoofer.
