I have to plug it in, so that means it has its own power (unlike a passive speaker).

The Yamaha is a self powered subwoofer which is the type that Vizo usually uses. Be sure to install the subwoofer per the Vizo instructions.

The subwoofer itself is passive, but the channel for the subwoofer is amplified from the main unit. Therefore, you will get plenty of sound out of it with this system, but the sub will not work as a stand-alone self-amplified subwoofer.

Yes, the Yamaha YST-SW215 will work with any receiver with a subwoofer pre out, which the Yamaha RX-V677 has.

No, these speakers need to be driver by a seperate amp to work. The sub does have it's own power and only requires an RCA input from your reciever (or possibly your PC) though.

The Klipsch website doesn't offer much in the way of user manuals. The plate amplifier that's installed on the sub I believe is manufactured by "Bash". They have user manuals but aside from technical specifications they don't provide much in the way of setup and operation. If that is the information you are looking for go to youtube and find what you are looking for explained in a video about subwoofers. Setup for subs is simple and similar regardless of the brand, and making sound adjustments (phase, gain, frequency, crossover) based on sub location, etc. is also quite simple.

No, the 5 main speakers are identical except the placement of mounting brackets, and are driven by the amp in the receiver. The Sub has a built in amp, and is connected via a shielded RCA terminated cord.

You do not power a sub through preamp. Your sub is powered when you plug it in a wall socket. the recieverdoes not drive the sub it drives itself whereas, the other speakers are driven by the receiver which can notgive enough power to 5 or 7 speakers they each want. It is better to over power than underpower speakers.

This speaker system is an excellent buy for the price and it would definitely solve you problem. The sub has it's own amp for power and has output for (i think) 2 speakers but I did not use this because I had receiver. I would recommend using the speakers with a receiver for best results.

I purchased a separate subwoofer to compliment the speaker. I am totally satisfied with this system; the sound is amazing! I recommend this system without reservation.

yes it does. it's a very nice looking subwoofer (mine is black/black cover)

I presume you have a powered sub (it has it's own internal amp). The XPA-5 is a power amp only and receives it 5 channel signals from the receiver or pre-pro line out jacks. The sub is connected directly from the receiver or pre-pro sub out jack and is not connected to the XPA-5 power amp. You will have 5 RCA or XLR cables from the receiver or pre-pro out jacks to the XPA-5.

Yes. As long as you have a receiver that does at least 5.1. Plus you need to make sure the inputs for the sub match the inputs for the receiver. Otherwise you may need some adapters to get it to work.I use 4 of these with one center channel being a different Yamaha and it sounds great. My family just visited this weekend and commented about how awesome it was.

I'm probably not the best person to answer the question. This is my first subwoofer. I'm happy with it, and this was after trying out three other ones beforehand. It's very compact and seems to do the job. Sounds like our rooms are about the same size.

I never compared it to a Bic F12, I have to a Polk Audio PSW110 though and the Yamaha kicks it's butt! I'm just going off my own experience with mine. I've owned it now for almost 3 years and I have never had a single issue with it and I've used it hard for everything from movies, digital music, car audio (used it as a subwoofer in my 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT utilizing the power inverter) and for use on my electronic drum set. I don't know if it's because it's a downward facing sub or what, but the Yamaha SW315 fills the room with deep thumping bass. I love it! It was given to me as a Christmas gift from my brother and it continues to be one of the best gifts I ever got. I'd be lost without it.

You ask if the sub has a separate RCA subwoofer input. The only input it has is an RCA input. On the back of the sub the following are found. 1. Volume Control. 2. Frequency Control: from 60Hz to 200 Hz. 3. Power cord plug. 4. On/Off switch and 5. RCA Input with both right (red) and left (white). There are no other controls or inputs on this sub. I hope this answers your question.
