How to connect rca connectors to speaker wires

[mikekarla]

Hello,
how do i connect spker wire from a phonograph to the input of a power sub woofed which appears to be a rca type female connector

you cant. the RCA input is a line level signal for the sub-woofer input. connecting a speaker level signal to that RCA input would probably damage the phonograph and the sub-woofer.

If your Crosley had a built in speaker you can use a speaker to line level adaptor and connect it to the sub. You will have to get the the speaker terminals to connect it.
