You can probably get away with just the one rca out, but you should go to the Polk website - they have a lot of technical info there on connecting a subwoofer in your system.

yes, you will need a simple RCA Y adapter, but it will cut the power to each sub in half. depending on the subwoofer, you may want to pick up 2 of these fine amps

"no" you only have to use the positive red input , in the back of your subwoofer . so if you have a double white & red rca cable ? just use positive output ( red ) out from receiver to red input on subb.!! red to red !! one cable is all you need !!

YES and make sure the sub you buy accepts speaker wire input, and not just RCA

To balance the load of the powered amp in the sub, I bought a RCA splitter and plugged it into the L/R on the back of the sub. My reciever only had one RCA out for my sub so the splitter worked

Not sure what u mean but make sure there is sub cable input for the receiver and subwoofer. Some older subs use speaker wire instead.

Yes, sir. It has a rca plug up specifically for your subs. As long as you have everything on your end, you should be golden.

yes it works great. I have put this receiver and sub together a few times and I wish I had it for all my jobs.

No. the RCA connection will not allow that connection to be made. I made that mistake and found myself not using the wires I purchased. My advise. Take a picture of both the subwoofer and the connection on the back of your receiver and take it to best buy or radio shack. Have the attendant show you what wire to purchase then you can find it online (cheaper). Hope this helps.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

John, According to the R-S201 owners manual there is no SUB OUT connection. You would have to use a receiver with a sub out connection. There is a work around that is more than I can describe here.

Yes. I am running two amps in my system. you must split the RCA outputs with a Y (splitter) to get seperate channels for the amps. Works fine.

Yes if your receiver has separate subwoofer Input that supports powered subwoofer it works ,this subwoofer is pretty good and generates nice base and sound

It should work. I think that the power supply is the standard one for most of the older receivers. Good luck!

I bought a subwoofer cable and it only had one output while the subwoofer itself has two. The receiver has one input for the subwoofer. I've seen a lot of questions about this and it looks like the solution is a Y cable. You may also want to look at some speaker stands. You could make installation easier if you have the stands near your walls.

Your sub must have a "WA Port" for this to work. I am not sure what that is, (my sub does not have a "WA Port"). If your sub has the RCA connector(s), you do not have a "WA Port".
