Yup...just an interconnect...I should have gotten something...but nothing...don't know what I did different but I disconnected the cable, and went back and re-configuered everything...I must have missed a step but nothing looked "new" to me (nothing I hadn't done before, anyway)...checked the pink noise and got a sound from the sub...first smile, then started playing music and got a big smile.
I agree that the sub cable is not probably necessary but I wanted to remove all doubt...cheapest I could find was BB AR Sub Cable (cheaper than Radioshack...I just wanted to find the cheapest cable that said "Sub Cable" to remove that from my list of screw-ups...removed it and I think this cheap cable is going back to BB.
Thanks for all the help!
