Alright, I've begun saving up for my venture into the world of HiFi (these Logi's really aint cuttin' it anymore). Now, my reciever is an older Yamaha RX-300U. So, being old and all, it doesnt have an input for the subwoofer. Here's the back connections:
(Sorry for the crappy pic, it's not mine)
Now, as I understand it, I need a y-split cable which will have a 3.5mm jack on the single end to connect to my line-out, and y-split to red and white audio, such as we see here from Radio Shack. From there I could just connect the R and W audio jacks into the auxilary source inputs.
Now, how would I do the sub? Being a stereo reciever and older, it doesnt have an input for a subwoofer. How I understand it, I should be able to make a split at the line-out of my sound card and connect both the reciever and the sub at the same time. Using another one of the cables I listed previously, would this be the cable I plug into my line-out in order to accomplish the feat of connecting the reciever and the sub at the same time?
