Adding a subwoofer to a boombox adds low bass reinforcement.
Boomboxes, due to their portability factor, use small speakers by necessity. Many boomboxes have detachable speakers, pulling double duty as small home stereos. As a result, adding a subwoofer to augment the little speakers built into the boombox is possible and relatively easy.
Instructions
1. Determine the distance from the back of the boombox to the subwoofer's intended location.
2. Cut two lengths of speaker wire to span the distance between the boombox and the subwoofer.
3. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from both ends of both lengths of speaker wire.
4. Push down on the speaker wire tabs on the back of the boombox to free the wires.
5. Route the boombox's speaker wires to the back of the subwoofer. Locate the "Speaker Out" binding posts on the rear of the woofer.
6. Rotate the binding post caps on the subwoofer to reveal the holes on the posts. Insert the boombox's speaker wires, matching the red and black color coding on the wires to the binding posts. Screw the post caps back down.
7. Slide the cut pieces of speaker wire into the "Speaker In" binding post terminals on the subwoofer. Use the side of the wire that has writing or molding for the positive connection.
8. Route the speaker wires to the "Speaker Out" terminals on the boombox. Push down on the tabs, insert the wires, and release the tabs to secure the wires.
9. Plug the subwoofer into an AC outlet. Turn on the booxbox and subwoofer.
