The subwoofer amplifiers stay in standby mode until they receive a control signal. To wake the amplifier up permanently:
Connect the of your RCA cable to Pin 7 (Audio Ground) . 3. Insulate and Test
If the system plays audio but emits a loud, constant hum, the signal ground network is broken. Verify that is fully connected all the way through your cable. If Pin 7 loses continuity, the audio inputs will use the chassis ground as a return path, introducing massive ground-loop noise into your speakers.

If you are cutting out the damaged section of wire to splice in a new one, note that Logitech used a braided shield around the internal wires. You must solder the shield to the Ground pin (Pin 2) to prevent buzzing/interference. Can’t copy the link right now
Print this diagram. Tape it to the bottom of your subwoofer. When you inevitably move houses or sell the system, you will have the exclusive key to keeping this legendary audio system alive.
The internal 10" subwoofer driver is driven by a dedicated amp channel. The wires usually run directly from the main PCB to the driver terminals.
