Works great with my Polk RM6750 Subwoofer!
By J. Jenkins
I have the Polk RM6750 and saw this y adapter in the stores. Strangely sufficient this was the most inexpensive Y adapter with gold connectors.

Necessary to connect Subwoofer to Component correctly
By Harold S. Levine
I ordered the Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black) to go with my Yamaha CRX-330BL Micro Component Receiver CD Player Unit and purchased Belkin PureAV AV20500-15 15-Foot Subwoofer Audio Cable to connect them. It turns out you also need a Monster ILJRY-1 F Single Female RCA to Dual Male RCA Y-Adapter to feed the signal into both channels of the subwoofer, or it doesn’t work right. Once I got all the components, it’s fine, but it took a week and two orders to figure it all out.

Great Price, outstanding quality
By MahaRex
I purchased this, like a good deal of others, to provide signal to both the Left and Right inputs of my subwoofer (Energy ESW-8HG). First, I’ll comment on the product, then the application
Product:
Build quality, though more basic than most Monster products, is more than satisfactory. The gold plated connections are a must, and the cable didn’t seem to have any issues with shielding (although on a sub application, it may be tough to tell due to the frequency replica capability of a sub). My Rosewill subwoofer interlink cable, which I at times have felt fit somewhat loosely into it is connection, fit snugly into this which gave me confidence. The price was outstanding (as standard – thanks Amazon!), and shipping was as fast as it always is
Application notes:
First, I’d like to comment on the 3dB of gain issue. 3dB (when dimensionless) represents a DOUBLING of power. However, there is no way to magically double the strength of your audio signal. Splitting a signal genuinely lowers the total power available for the amp (any connection causes a connector loss). However, whether you see a boost in signal to the amp (assuming a powered sub woofer) will depend on how it is configured. If it uses half of it is power to amplify each channel, then yes – providing a signal to both will likely get you more power to the woofer itself since now the amp is amplifying two signals and not just 1. However, this will alter from amp to amp, as I found out.
As cited above, I tried this as percentage of my Energy ESW-8HG subwoofer setup. I had been having difficulties with the sub cutting out, and as portion of my troubleshooting procedure thought I’d see if this made a difference. It did not (but it was not the fault of the product, as you’ll see below)
However, and be sure to read this part – in my discussions with the Energy Tech/Warranty aid folks, I learned that though the sub does have an input for L and R, in a mono sub application a signal must ONLY be supplied to one of the 2 (in my case, the L). Using both the left and the right is intended to be a speaker level input option that a great deal of sub makers provide as a flexibleness feature (can trade this sub to more users, since not all AV recievers have subwoofer out). Therefore, supplying a mono subwoofer signal to both channels may DAMAGE your subwoofer’s internal amp and/or the sub itself (if it gets overdriven).
Bottom line – if you determine that you could gain from this connector – then buy with confidence, but make sure that your audio configuration warrants this plug, as I’d hate for you to harm your equipment
