I recently acquired a surround sound system, pretty old technology at this point.
I have a onkyo receiver, with cambridge soundworks ensemble speakers, and a sony sub.
The original sub blew up so my dad replaced it.
I'm not exactly sure what's going on with it but it appears the center and rear channels are cooked. The 2 front channels work, and the multi source channels work, but they operate on 2 different volume controls.
My question, i have 2 front channels that are 6 ohm, and i have 2 speakers that are 6 ohm, and i also have what i believe to be a mid level bass box that is also 6 ohm. The kind of box with the tube coming out the front. Should I be running a set of speaker wires from each channel to both a single speaker and a single "channel" in the box? Or run them in series or parallel or neither?
I believe I should ultimately just get a new receiver but this isn't a priority at this point so i'm shooting for a basic setup of 2 fronts, the 2 channels in the mid bass box and the sub.
edit: the sub has its own amp attached to the back and is only wired via one rca cable from the subwoofer out on the receiver. The amp on the back of the sub has spots for 4 more speakers to come out of the amp, not really sure what those are for.
here is an example of the back of the receiver
its a TX-SV535
i cant get the center and rear to work, just the front (the 2 round ones, and the remotes to the left of those)
