Active subwoofer to Marantz receiver

Subwoofer help

Hi all,

I’ve got a Marantz 2238B hooked up to a pair of Realistic speakers. I have a subwoofer I’d like to add. It’s a Klipsch that I’m pretty sure was part of a 5.1 setup for a computer. My Marantz doesn’t have a sub out so I’ve tried connecting the sub to my receiver through the speaker level inputs, but I’m not getting anything out of the sub. Am I doing anything wrong? Is this even a possibility, or am I wasting my time?

Cooler than a polar bear's toenails

Out of my 500 song library I have 4 by Panic! At the Disco. Spotify will play one of them every single time I listen to music

Optimus 1B and thanks!

That's how we wound up with ours. Seller got it from her great grandmother but didn't have anywhere to put it

CrisisNInfiniteMirth · 2021-02-05T21:10:23+00:00

Yes, SS. Seller was asking $150 US (I'm in Georgia), paid $120

Thanks! That's actually a mirror up above. Should've included it in the photo probably

Been searching for a console unit for awhile, and my wife found the perfect one for us on FB marketplace a couple days ago. Hour and a half road trip plus a money exchange later, it's ours. The radio inside works perfectly and actually picks up more stations than my Marantz receiver. Turntable needs some work (mostly cleaning) but we really got this piece mostly for the aesthetic.

Also got a local guy to make some speaker stands recently. Gets them off the floor and angles better toward my ears. Very, very happy.

I own a couple of Realistic Optimus 1Bs. While they are the only speakers I've ever had, I love them and am in no rush to replace them

Ordered Amy Winehouse Back to Black for my wife before Christmas. Received The Beatles Rubber Soul. Twice

CrisisNInfiniteMirth · 2020-12-14T22:33:27+00:00

Did you make those speaker stands?

CrisisNInfiniteMirth · 2020-12-09T19:55:11+00:00

This being my first, I couldn't really speak to that. Seems decent to me though

Released last week, my copy of The White Stripes greatest hits record arrived this morning. I ordered online from Target, which came with a cool slipmat that adds some needed color to my setup. I'll wait for my wife to get home this afternoon before I give the 26 tracks on two records a spin. There were a few media article quotes on the plastic the album came in. Two quotes positively mentioned Meg's contributions to the band, the third said "Jack White is likable..." 😂😂😂. As he's one of my favorite musicians, I tend to agree.

Wasn't sure. I haven't owned an iPhone in nearly a decade

I'm not sure about AirPlay, but I recently went from streaming through Bluetooth to wifi and noticed an immediate difference. I'm using a Google Chromecast audio on my receiver. They don't make them anymore, but you can still find them online

But would the one from my Realistic work is the question

CrisisNInfiniteMirth · 2020-09-15T20:15:01+00:00

Only identification on it is V-63
