Denon DHT-FS3 find! (But no cable for the subwoofer)

[hmegdal]

Got myself a Denon DHT-FS3 soundbar and subwoofer at a tag sale! Great condition, remote, all except... the cable for the subwoofer. Called Denon, it's a proprietary cable, and they no longer make it. No luck on Ebay or Amazon. Anyone have any ideas? Really curious to hook this up and see what it can do! Soundbar alone is great.

Perhaps that's why it was such a good deal. Even Google reverse image search finds no matches for this unusual connector.

I would bypass the connector and match what you find on the other side.

^^^ What he said. Open it and the subwoofer up and see what you have to work with. Then dig around in the box of surplus wires and other crap (I assume everyone has one) and see what you have. I would replace it with a 5-way binding post because I have some extras laying around. Or just wire it up direct.

Interesting. Okay, will give that a shot! Thanks!

As others suggested just bypass with speaker wire/wiring terminal as best you can and you should be in business!! Let us know how you make out!!

So the problem is there's a screw to open side of the soundbar, but not the subwoofer. Think I can probably pry it open, but wondering if I should, instead of continuing to search for the wire...

Can you post a clear, bright pic looking into the sub's connection port?

Absolutely! Here it is. Notice that there's no screw, so I'd have to pry it off.

I wonder if you'd be able to safely get some wiring "butt" connectors or other modified wire terminators in there?
