    Need help with speakers!

    I bought a set of 2way polk audio floor standing speakers. i like the mid-high range it puts out but i plan on adding a 6 inch woofer too it. is there a way to isolate the frequency range that the woofer will put out? i want it to only play the lower range, to give these speakers some better bass.

          I am not really sure that I understand what it is you are asking?

          You want to be able to cap (capacitor- I may have that confused with a coil) the woofer so that it only plays low frequency?

          You should shop for another set of speakers. Those Polks will already have its own internal caps, coils, or both that send the frequency the speakers were designed for at their particular crossover rate. If you change that, or replace a speaker you will possibly damage the speakers, and will certainly change the note of them probably for the worst. Find another set of speakers that give you the sound you want without hacking a set of Polks. Even better suggestion is to buy a set of really nice, and possibly wireless, headphones and jam with those when the old lady is a problem.

          Bose makes a few set of headphones, that while incredibly and almost retardedly expensive, they sound REALLY nice, and have a high level of long time wear comfort.

            You have 4 wires from 2 speakers; 2 neg, 2 pos.

            At the rear of receiver, twist both negs together...same with pos. You now essentially have 2 connecting ends (2 wire combined pos, 2 wire combined neg).

            Put the combined negs into your LEFT neg audio out.

            Put the combined pos's into your RIGHT pos audio out.

            Adjust bass output (if you can)
