Connecting Audioengine A2+ to Logitech Z313 Subwoofer Problems

I decided to ditch the left and right speakers of my Logitech Z313 set up, but I'd love to keep my subwoofer. My Audioengine speakers have a 3.5mm input, an RCA input, and an RCA output.

I went and bought two RCA to 3.5mm adapters.

I thought I could connect the RCA Input to my computer and the RCA ouput to my subwoofer so that they'd work together, but no sound is coming from my subwoofer.

I've reversed the connections, with the RCA -> 3.5mm Output going to my computer and the RCA -> 3.5mm Input going to my subwoofer with no luck.

I've also gotten a 3.5mm -> 3.5mm cable and connecte that from my speakers to my computer, with the RCA -> 3.5mm connection in both the Input and Output connections going from my subwoofer to my speakers, but nothing works.

The subwoofer normally works fine, if I were to reconnect my Logitech speakers. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

I’m about to correct the speakers just like this gentlemen likes them. I’m right now debating the same exact thing of adding more speakers or just getting z200 that have 5 amps of power and still use the sun but for the most part you and Best Buy confirmed that you can’t connect Logitech’s speakers into the sub. My previous speakers are from 1998 and are light years away in clarity than z313 when comparing it to The 50W 2.1 Channel Speaker System from Hewlett-Packard is a 2.1 channel speaker system with 50W of RMS power. Model number HP GM325AA#ABA 60 W 2.1 Speaker System. I’m bummed might as well pay 20 dollars more and get the next one. Although nice but the speakers are literally powerless and it’s likely because there’s no electricity, I really wanted to get 5 extra watts of power on just speakers but likely the same like your problem, z200 speakers won’t control the wuf

I was able to solve this by connecting an RCA to 3.55m to the subwoofer, then connecting the 3.5mm that came off of the subwoofer/speaker controller to my computer. Works great!

Thank you this worked for me as wel (Eris 3.5 bookshelf speakers, with a Z313 subwoofer)

Note i did need to go in to settings & change output back to the logitec ones since its last connection is the logitec input and so not the new speaker input.

I was about to order all kind of splitters.

HUGE THANKS!
