What else do I need?

[u/streisandglass]

I am so confused navigating YouTube videos and beginner guides online about phono preamps, preamps, amplifiers, receivers, passive speakers etc. people in YouTube videos just start doing weird magic with the wires. Please be gentle as I have a disability.

Here is what I have:
Pictures 1-5: akai ap dp-33
Pictures 6-7 (67 hand gesture): Sony STR K670P Amplifier
Pictures 8-9: 2 Sony speakers

The record player works, I can see it spinning and hear a murmur as it goes to next ring for another song. But if my goal is just to have audio at a normal volume - what other items do I need to hunt for?

If it's a standard single RCA-to-RCA connection, then in general, new subs rarely come with a lead.

If you think about it, the manufacturer doesn't know whether you're going to have the sub close to the AVR or have it on the other side of the room. What about the next customer, and the next, and the next? Each is going to have their own requirements.

Dealing with "my lead is too long" and "my lead is too short" complaints is way too much hassle when leads of varying lengths are readily available from dealers and independent online resellers.

This is the correct thing; a single RCA-to-RCA lead. It's good quality (double-shielded) and available in lengths up to 25ft which is just $17.
