Does the receiver take advance of large front speakers as well as an attached subwoofer? My old Sony would disable the sub with large front enabled.

I bought the Pioneer Andrew jones designed SP--PK52FS speakers system with the powered subwoofer to match. Al speakers are very bid and work very well with this receiver. Remember the sub woofer has its own power supply. You have full control of everything regarding what the speakers do and don't have to worry about any " automatic" strange stuff happenning

I have no problem running large front speakers along with a sub.... with the rear surround speakers at the same time.Phil

Yes it will. Run the speaker setup with the included microphone, it will work fine.

hi dan, i just talked to my IT tech partner and he said yes you can, just watch how you configure it.

I don't know if you have given up on these speakers but I wanted to weigh in. I have direct tv with an HD receiver and connect directly to the receiver and love the speakers! I use 8' 3.5 mm male/female speaker extensions so that I can keep the subwoofer with the volume controls near my chair and still have good speaker separation. My tv remote only mutes the tv speakers in this set up but I don't mind. The 2.1 system is a very nice buy in my opinion! Hope this helps. Terry

The front/down firing you refer to is for the speaker driver and that faces the front. It is the resonance port that's on the bottom but that's acts only to improve the efficiency (loudness) and doesn't much matter where it's placed on the box. A very good value sub.

Not sure which speakers you have, but your receiver looks like a brute, which makes me suspect that this little subwoofer might be a little wimpy for your setup. I'm using it with a Yamaha DSP-4100, which is a soundbar and I have a 12" B&W; subwoofer to supplement for movie LFEs. Hope that helps.

Hi and thanks for the info; I just went to press the "menu" button but saw nothing from the receiver face plate or the TV screen. Are you referring precisely to the Sony STR-DN1010 model? I have wired the single center back speaker wires to either of the 2 center back on the receiver, i.e. "+" to the left "+" and "-" to the right "-".

Yes. There is a Volume knob and a Low Pass filter knob. Note: If you are using a Sub out/LFE connection from your receiver turn the Low Pass all the way up.

I believe mine has a port for the subwoofer but I don't use one. You can find a pic of the back of the receiver by searching for it.

I am not an audiophile. I did the search based on others reviews and price and my boyfriend did the install. We just have the pioneer vsx-1023 receiver and a polk audio subwoofer. Plenty of sound for the greatroom its in!! We also had to get j-box mounts for the speakers but other than wishing they could be a little bit smaller, they do a fantastic job and keep the sound focused in that area.

This receiver has a subwoofer pre-out. You plug a subwoofer cable to the bottom plug on the pre-out on the receiver.

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

Yes. The subwoofer has a built-in receiver that has multiple sound settings. I was very surprised at how nice the speakers actually sound. Radio, USB, SD, and output to another device, and in my case, the TV. For the price a good little system... Jim

No it does not.I guess sony didnt seem fit to add that feature to its line up of 2014 receivers.I think the new onkyo receivers have it though,but i dont like onkyo because their receivers are just to big and bulky,i love sony.The sony menu system is more user friendly.

I can only tell you that my Sony receiver has 200 watts / channel and I've had no issues at all with the speakers. You likely will never play them at full power anyway.

It's definitely not going to take the place of 2 12" speakers. I run 4 of these speakers only powered by my kenwood 4x50w head unit. I do have an 8" infinity sub in the trunk. And it's fantastic! When the sub is turned off it's a very noticeable drop in bass. They may be better powered by a dedicated amp, i would be interested to see how that works as i've been thinking of getting another amp.

I don't remember what the back of the unit looks like because the piece of garbage is in it's box up on one of the shelves. If it has 2 jacks on the back and you only have 1 plug on your subwoofer, you may have to find a cable splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs. You can probably find one where ever electronics assessories are sold and it will not cost very much. If you do purchase another subwoofer, then 1 input will be for the left side and 1 input for the right. At least that's how it is on my Onkyo receiver I purchased to replace the Sony STRDH820 receiver that constantly broke down that Sony claimed nothing was wrong with and could not fix or replace. Good luck with your unit. I still "MAKE BELIEVE" that I did not get ripped off with mine.

We have it hooked up through a Sony receiver. Its an older model Sony that we've had for a while. We have it connected to nice speakers, though, and it sounds great.

No need for a subwoofer. I run mine through a sony receiver and I get good sound.
