I purchased my current house in 2021 and am just getting around to making the home theater that was already here functional.
The theater is setup for 7.2 channel surround sound however the receiver is only for 5.1.
I currently have FL, C, FR, SL, and SR speakers working.
My issue is the subwoofer. I have two. Only one cable fed to where the receiver is. The cable is labeled “Subwoofer 1+2.” This makes me think the subwoofer cables going to each subwoofer are spliced together then the single cable is fed to the receiver. The cable used is 4x14 gauge wire. I have figured out that red/green is being used for positive and white/black for negative on all the other speakers.
The receiver only has a pre out for the subwoofer. I tried connecting it to an RCA adapter but that doesn’t seem to work.
My question is if I need to start from scratch and figure out how to rewire or if there is another solution?
