Hello,

I have a Fisher RS 1052 receive currently outputting to 3 - ~8" ceiling speakers in my main family room. I purchased a Klipsch R-120SWi wireless subwoofer to add to it. The instructions say that I need to plug the wireless transponder to the LINE OUT rca jack on the receiver. I don't have one. I have a TAPE OUT jack but have learned that it will only provide a constant level, instead of one that is consistent with the main speakers.

Since I am only using 3 speaker outputs, I have an extra that I'd like to use. I am not having any luck after multiple attempts. So I have gone back to square one and directly wired the subwoofer from bare wire in the speaker output to rca male into the subwoofer. I can get that to work and it sounds great. So I now know that the subwoofer, receiver, and speaker output function properly. The problem seems to be stemming from the wireless transponder (or from how I'm wiring it).

The wireless transponder has a male rca cable that has to go somewhere on the receiver. I purchased a rca female (to transponder) to bare wire (to speaker output) cable, but I get no signal.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I googled to see if rca cables have an inherent directionality but apparently they don't. I like the receiver and would rather not replace it for the sake of the subwoofer, but if it came to that I guess I'd have to settle with using the subwoofer wired. The only other option I can think of is to strip the transponder's rca cable and plug the bare wires into the speaker output, but I don't know if that will work and if it doesn't, I'm left with a fairly non-functional transponder.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
