So I'm going to just gon affordable this time around, it will be for my computer instead of my tv and I will spend some decent money once I understand the basics. So essentially I need a receiver and and speakers? How does that work if you don't use the line in? Do the speakers have wires going from them to the sub and then from the sub back to the speakers? I seriously don't understand this stuff I need a FAQ or something haha

if you have a receiver, you will have a connection for the sub (sub out on back of receiver). This depends on the sub and the receiver for a connection via coax or speaker wire. Lots of great Home Theater guys on this forum. And the forum they pointed you to is great also.

If the sub is connected via speaker wire, it is filtering out the LOW frequency and letting all the other sound waves pass along. The sub is pretty smart, the knows what his job is.

It looks like two different ways to get signal to your sub. Rca line in is just for feeding sub signal. Speaker in/out looks to be the same thing just a different way to do it.

Maybe there's an online manual for your sub.

You need an amplified speaker set for a pc.
