Audio Pro Subwoofer?

[kl3640]

I have an Audio Pro Subwoofer (came as part of a set I got a few years back, including Polk SDA SRS 1.2 TL speakers). On the front it says "Audio Pro Made in Sweden" and on the back it has a funky cable connection, sort of a round connector with 5 pins. I can post a pic if necessary.

I didn't have a lot of luck finding the right interface cable on line (I have the cable, but my receiver doesn't accept that type of cable).

Is there a sort of converter cable that I can use to run this circular 5-prong cable in to a modern receiver's subwoofer input port?

Also, I didn't find a lot of data about this item on-line - does anyone here know if it's a good product?

Thanks.

Oh, and the model is "B1-45 ACE-BASS SUBWOOFER" if that helps.

Thanks.

I found this article here on your sub:

From what it looks like, your sub was designed to be powered by a special amplifier. It probably won't work with a standard AVR, and you might damage something if you try.

Thank you very much, that's very helpful.

From what I was reading, the woofer supplies feedback to the amp. This should not change the input signal that it takes if the amp is built-in.

The amp likely takes the full input and then feeds back out for the right and left full range speakers.

Same question here:

Chances are, you are looking at having someone troubleshoot the connector to see which pins are which and to make an adapter.

Don't know.

Is the amp built in to the unit or not??
