If it is a regular speaker output, see if your receiver will allow you to customize the output for that line. USE SHIELDED WIRE WHEN YOU CAN. My BIC picked up interference until I put in shielded cables. Twisted-pair may also aid in preventing extraneous noise. **Q: Do I still need to buy an AV receiver to use this sub?** A: You can hook this sub up to a vintage 2 channel receiver with the speaker in and out connections on the back. So you don't have to have an AV receiver. **Q: This has Inputs for both Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital/DTS. I play music/vids in both modes. How does this work, re: cable placement?** A: Setting the switch to Dolby Pro Logic utilizes the Sub's built-in cross-over were Dolby Digital by-passes it and utilizes your receivers LFE filtering. You choose the mode, based of your receiver and the type of signal you are feeding it. **Q: Does it have sterio RCA imputs or one mono RCA imput ?** A: It has one sub input which has an RCA input style plug. It also has two sets of jacks for input that would use two wire connections (+ and -) for left and right. Could use banana plugs on those I think. Additionally, it has two identical sets of connections that could be used for output to connect additional speakers. Again, banana plugs could be used for those or just stripped wires tightened into place. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***V on April 20, 2019* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***E on March 5, 2013* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***2 on November 3, 2012* ## Frequently Bought Together - BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt Front Firing Powered Subwoofer - FosPower Subwoofer Cable (10 FT) RCA to RCA Audio Stereo Cable, Male to Male - Dual Shielded Cord | 24K Gold Plated Connector | Corrosion Resistant | Clean Sounding Signal --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1148897-bic-america-f12-12-inch-475-watt-front-firing-powered](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1148897-bic-america-f12-12-inch-475-watt-front-firing-powered) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
