Hi all. I just bought some new Yamaha speakers to replace my older JVC
tower speakers. Now these are the surround sound type they came with 5
speakers and a powererd sub. No problem hooking up the front, rear and
center channels but the sub has an RCA plug at the rear and the
instuctions say to plug it into the sub jack on the back of the amp.
Well I don't have a sub jack. I wired it to one side of the front
speaker jack. Is there a better way?
Thanks for any advice.

What are you wiring these speakers to, in the way of equipment?

Do you mean to say that you have a multichannel amp/receiver without a
sub or LFE output? Tell us which as it seems highly unusual.

Sorry Guys, it is an older JVC multichannel amp I bought it about 7
years ago, and it does not have a sub out-put jack, so I need to know
which would be the best way to wire the sub, like I said right now I
have it sharing the wiring of one of the front speakers.
I am sure there is a better way but need some advice.
Thanks again for the replies.

If its an amp, then it gets its multichannel feed from some other component.
That component, which could be a DVD player with built-in decoder, would be
the logical source of the bass signal at line level.

If everything else fails, take the line-level inputs to the front main pair,
and route them through a 2-way crossover. Drive the sub from the merged bass
output of the crossover. Set all other speakers in the system to be "small".
