PSW 111

Yes, connecting the PSW 111 directly to a TV is possible for certain televisions. The PSW 111 comes equipped with a Low Pass filter and RCA inputs. Check the Television specifications to see if it allows for Audio Out with the internal TV speakers still active. Alternatively, on rare occasions, some televisions offer a sub-out feature.

You can bypass any sub's built-in amp and effectively convert an active sub into a passive sub by removing all the sub's internal components except for the speaker driver, then wire the speaker driver directly to the rear speaker-level input ports. Then use a hot glue gun to seal air holes created by the other now-unused rear ports. Congrats, you've just performed your first ampectomy! Then buy a "mono amp" or "subwoofer amp" - expect a suitable one to cost $50-$100. Run a cable from the sub-out or pre-out ports of your existing amp/receiver to the input port(s) of the new mono/sub amp, and run speaker wire from the mono/sub amp to your sub. Ensure that there's a sub crossover frequency control somewhere in your setup, otherwise the sub will sound muddy due to it trying to output higher frequencies.

To use the 3.5mm subwoofer pre-out, A 3.5 to RCA wire is required. The Polk Audio PSW 111 also provides a Hi-Level speaker line input. The subwoofer can be connected via your speaker terminals.

Hello, The PSW-111 sub-woofer power cord is a standard figure of eight power cord. This is easily found on websites like Amazon. Be sure to order the length you require. The connection from the sub-woofer to an AVR is a single RCA cable. Also easily found on the same websites as where you'd find the power cord.

Hi Rich1340, Generally, thicker carpet doesn't much impede the bass response with a downward-firing sub-woofer, but it does depend on how thick the carpet is.

The Polk Audio PSW-111 has its own dedicated 300-watt amplifier built-in. Audio inputs provided are LFE or Speaker level inputs.

The two RCA inputs allow for connection flexibility with stereo amplifiers. When connecting to an AV receiver with a subwoofer output (LFE), use only the one labeled R/LFE in. It is Red in color.
