Oddball question, hooking up REL Storm III Subwoof

I just purchased a REL Storm III today used at a local dealer. they did not have anything but the subwoofer, Ie no, Neutrix Speaker connections...

I am trying to hook it up now in some manner, while waiting on my order of the connecting cable.

Using the LOW level input, is it possible to run an RCA out of the back of a DVD Players "audio out" subwoofer RCA output? I just did so and no sound came out of the REL. My set up does not allow me to use a Pre-Amp out, since I use an Integrated amp

Having no way to test the REL at the dealer, I am just hoping the thing is operational.

thanks

Also, asisde from the REL after-market speaker cable sold here by a Member "Zihkmark" are there other sources for the High Level Neutrix speaker connector?

Did you check the DVD's bass management options in the menu system to see if the LFE is active? Just a thought, since I have no knowledge of your DVD or the RELs actual operation.

It's a good thing you got no sound when you hooked up the sub the way you did because it would have been at full volume. You need a preamp or some device with a volume control between the DVD player and the sub. I don't know specically how the REL works but you will probably have to use the speaker outs on your amp to get to the sub unless you have a preamp out loop.
