Stereo Speakers Subwoofer

I moved a while ago and finally getting around to hooking my stereo back up and I'm having trouble figuring it out.

There are 2 sets of speaker wires going into the bottom of the subwoofer. One positive & negative connection says "left" the other a positive and negative which says "right." The speaker wires are already hooked in there.

The problem is where do I hook them into the back of my stereo?

Here are my possible selections:

Rear Speakers (has 2 - one for right, one for left) - I hooked my small speakers into this. Is this correct?

Center Speaker - has only 1, doesn't say right or left, if I put the wires into this one, I would have to put the wires for both the left positive subwoofer connection and the right positive subwoofer connection into one connection. The same would go for the negative.

Front Speakers - You can plug 2 speakers into A and 2 into B.

Please tell me what to put where. I have 2 small speakers & a subwoofer.
My stereo system is an Onkyo and is about 15 years old. My subwoofer has no other way to connect to the stereo besides the cable. It is a part of a Cambridge Soundworks set.

Place the subwoofer connections in the corresponding left or right FRONT SPEAKER output, and the two small speakers can either both share the CENTER output or Share with the subwoofer, if you connect them to the REAR the sounds will be inconsistent and faint!

Good luck!

How to remove seats, center console and other panels from your Toyota Tacoma.

I have a chrysler newyorker year 1999 and i want to put a subwoofers in it. I dont want to change my speakers however. I only want to install a Large subwoofer or a few ones, along with a new stereo. Will the subwoofer and stereo work well with the old speakers? or what would you suggest?

It should work fine. The problem you are going to face is, with subwoofers, the midrange and high pitch sounds will probably get drowned out by the low-end, resulting in very muddy, unclear music. It isn't a huge deal, just something to think about. Just get the subs and amp that you want, and if it makes the sound too muddy, just buy some inexpensive replacement speakers. A decent pair will run $80-$100.

The stereo will be fine with the speakers too, and (depending on the model) may add a little more power into them than stock.

i am a music nut and am about to buy a forester (2009). The salesman is telling me that just by adding the subwoofer to the stereo in the "premium" that it will make it the same as the "surround sound" 6 speaker system in the wrx sti..... shall i believe him or is there a major difference??

your better off just buying the car and changing the speakers to some good aftermarket speakers and an aftermarket sub, have you ever looked at the speakers they put in the car?? they are shit.

i say buy the car and put pioneer 3way all around and some kicker subs

Yes IF Your Stock Stereo Has RCA Outputs your Set Easy as Cake but If it Dont. You will Need to find out if you have The high quality Inputs for YOUR amp If you Do Then Use That and You Will Need A REM witch IS Blue (AKA Your Radio Ant wire Use that and the radio will Still Work

But The Answer Is Yes You Can (I Have Done it To My Fathers Car Hooked it Up To Stock cd Player)

Good Luck
