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.

Which should I use with my subwoofer, a mono or stereo cable?

What is a subwoofer?

HSU FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
A subwoofer is a specialized speaker responsible for the most difficult duty in home theater. It produces the very deep, room shaking notes that add a magical effect and balance the sound. This requires providing lots of power to fill a room with sound, and large mechanical motions of the subwoofer. When you hear about Dolby 5.1, the ".1" refers to the subwoofer's special role in a surround sound system consisting of five speakers and (at least) one subwoofer. See similar questions...

How close can I put the subwoofer to my television?

HSU FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Currently, most HSU Research subwoofers are shielded, although extreme proximity of a subwoofer to a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) television may produce streaks of colors. More and more TVs are not sensitive to magnetic fields, so this gets to be less and less of an issue. If you have a plasma, LCD, or DLP based TV, you do not have to worry about magnetic shielding.
