ROCK SHAKER 15: How To Create A Home Theater Setup With Powered Sub

Introduction: In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the simple steps to set up your Rock Shaker 15 subwoofer with your home theater system. Whether you're connecting through RCA or speaker wire, you'll get great sound quality in no time. Let's get started!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Connecting via RCA

• Step 1: Take an RCA cable and plug one end into the audio RCA output on the back of your TV.
• Step 2: Plug the other end of the RCA cable into the RCA input on the back of your Rock Shaker 15 subwoofer.
• Step 3: Go into your TV’s sound settings and ensure the audio output is set to RCA.

2. Connecting Passive Speakers

• Step 1: For high-end sound, we’ll set up passive speakers. Take speaker wire and plug one end into the left and right high-level outputs on the back of the subwoofer.
• Step 2: Connect the other ends of the speaker wire to your passive speakers, keeping track of the left and right channels.
• Step 3: Double-check your TV sound settings to ensure it’s set to RCA output.

3. Connecting through a Receiver (Alternative Method)

• If you have a receiver with RCA outputs, plug one end of an RCA cable into the RCA output of your receiver, and the other end into the RCA input on the subwoofer.
• For a receiver with a sub-out (like the Blue Tube receiver), plug an RCA cable into the sub-out and connect it to the RCA input on your sub.

4. Using High-Level Inputs and Outputs (When RCA is Unavailable)

• Step 1: Connect two sets of speaker wire to the high-level inputs on the back of the sub.
• Step 2: Plug the other ends of the wires into the terminals on your passive speakers and your receiver.
• Step 3: Alternatively, you can use speaker wire from your receiver’s high-level outputs to the high-level inputs on the sub.
• Step 4: Use two more sets of speaker wire to connect your passive speakers to the high-level outputs on the back of the sub.

5. Testing Your Setup

• Once connected, place the subwoofer on the floor and play some music to hear how it sounds with your full setup. The Rock Shaker 15 will bring the bass to life, enhancing your audio experience!

Conclusion:

Setting up your Rock Shaker 15 subwoofer with your home theater system is simple, whether you’re using RCA connections, high-level inputs, or speaker wire. Now you can enjoy deep bass and richer sound from your home theater system.
