Does subwoofer's plug have a ground prong (may prevent any hum sound coming from speaker)?
A shopper

BEST ANSWER: To Inquiring shopper: the Monoprice 12" subwoofer does not use a 3 terminal 120 vac power-cord- -it has no
earth-ground prong. Its medium-size extruded-aluminum heat sink is used as an audio "ground-plain", with all
RCA audio sockets electrically connected to it. The heat-sink is mounted with wood-screws, which could
provide a convient way for you to connect an earth-ground. My speaker had no "hum" problems. Be advised
that this product is heavily built and a bit of an audio "brute".

Unfortunately, I can't give you a "for sure" answer. If find an adapter that can allow you to use a standard subwoofer connection/RCA plug, you can make it work. The unit is self powered so all you have to do is get the signal to the sub. I use it with a sound bar which has a dedicated subwoofer plug.

BEST ANSWER: No wires. But they are standard connectors. Getting wires is easy, just get plenty, don't short yourself.

My audio receiver only has a single monaural audio output. This subwoofer has separate line in L and R inputs. Will this work well with my receiver? Or is an adapter of some kind needed so both L and R inputs are filled in? From what I understand, and I may be mistaken, there's no L/R difference with the audio sent to a subwoofer.

BEST ANSWER: You will only need to use one input, the red or white, no difference. Do not use the y-cable adapter because it will put your sub out of phase and not sound properly.

Another respondent said not to use a "Y-Cable" as it will put the subwoofer out-of-phase. Having serviced both consumer and professional recording studio electronic equipment, that is not true! These circuits are generic in design and the first amplifier stage "sums" the Left and Right channels together into a mono signal so it doesn't matter if only the Left and/or the Right RCA inputs are fed from the single subwoofer output of your surround receiver. I would also recommend that if your surround receiver has DSP processing and filtering that delivers audio to its Subwoofer output then use that higher quality design and set the Crossover control of this subwoofer to the highest frequency. This will minimize phase shift in the subwoofer band.

For anyone interested in the answer: "If you are using an amplifier with a single mono subwoofer line level output, simply use an RCA "Y" cable to split the output and send it to the two line level inputs on the subwoofer. "

Can this connect to YAS 107 Soundbar?
A shopper
on Sep 22, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes it can.
The YAS 107 has a subwoofer outlet for just that purpose. You just need an RCA "Y" connector 1 male to 2 males. The length of the "Y" connector depends how far your place your sub from the YAS 107.
(The Monoprice instruction manual shows a diagram connection of the Monoprice, both Left and Right "in" jacks.
However I have used only a single RCA jack ,left or right, and it still works.) I've read the only reason to use a "Y" is if the sub has an Auto-off and this sub does. The stronger signal using both sub "in" jacks keeps the sub form powering down if the signal is too weak, like when playing at low volume. I've been using subs for over 25 years and never had this problem, but just adding this for your info.
Monoprice has this sub's manual link on its site. Arrow down, almost to bottom on the page where this sub is advertised. Link is on the left.
The YAS 107 reviews also show pictures if you don't already own this. One is avforums, Dec 31, 2017.

Look up the specs on your ssoundbar at Yamaha. It states there is a "sub-out" so the answer to your question is "YES".
"While the YAS-107 comes with built-in subwoofers, it also has a output that allows for the connection of an optional powered subwoofer if desired. Adding another subwoofer provides even deeper, fuller and more impactful bass to enhance your movies, music and games. Yamaha offers a line of powered subwoofers or you use one that you already own."
You will need an RCA (subwoofer) cable and a "Y" splitter to connect it. Monoprice sells both.

Everyone? I have (2) of these units - no hum, whatsoever. I use top-quality Monoprice single RCA cables for my subwoofers. Make sure they are tight to your sub(s) and receiver/pre-amp and that the receiver has proper settings. If the hum persists, consider that 30-cycle hums are usually the fault of a defective amplifier.

This is a 120v power block and it is not wired to function at 220 or 240 v. If that is all you have for power you will need a transformer to step down the power.

It depends on the kid of output you can deliver to the input on the subs amplifier. This unit is a bit harder to connect the input signal to it. It is easy if you have a preamp with an extra output on it. Look at the owners manual that shows you how you can connect into it. Hope this helps.p

I have mine connected to an amp/receiver which has an unpowered jack, since the sub has it's own power. I think the same would be true for a sound bar, if it has an unpowered jack for a sub. Somehow, this sub seems way bigger than most soundbars--I would look for something smaller.
