Hooking up a sub woofer: Does anyone know if this unit will power that sub woofer and/or how I can hook it up to work?

In all honesty yes you do need to buy a powered subwoofer. Though you can run lines from the receivers left and right front speaker outs to the sub and then to the front speakers, you are asking way too much of the reciever at 75 watts per channel. But don't fret. You can find decent subs pretty cheap. I just ordered a Pioneer sw-8 from newegg for $79. They also have a 10 in Polk that goes on sale a lot for $89.

The previous answers are good. Page 32 of the manual gives a picture of the connections on the back of the receiver. I have a B&W; subwoofer connected without problems.Eric S

my sub is starting to get weak for some reason. do you guys know if i can hook up a powered sub to this receiver? im not sure if i can since the sub this came with connects via regular speaker wires (black and red)

First thing, hook your sub woofer up to an output on your receiver that you know has a working audio signal (like CD) so you can make sure it is actually working. A bass speaker carries a huge magnet so any bump to its frame can potentially blow it by shifting that magnet. If it does work, then hook another product that depends on an amplified line level signal to your receivers sub woofer output and make sure that is working. Chances are one of isn't.

I hooked mine up to a sub-woofer output. I beliieve the power to it from there is very low, like 1-3 amps. I once hooked a sub-woofer up in my car and was told then by the installer that if I did not have a sub-woofer output, I could hook it up to the left and right main speaker outputs, that this would work, but I would just need to add some kind of filter on each to allow only the low tones through. Cant remember the filters name, but sold for about $30. So I think this princible would apply to a home system as well. PS-the BIC V-80 is GREAT!

Thing is that the subwoofer needs to be active , most (or all for what I know) receivers dont send energy thru coax just the signal of sound , like in my case , and did nothing , so i had yo put an amp in between the speaker and receiver

yes you can hook up a subwoofer if the subwoofer is a powered subwoofer meaning the subwoofer has its own amp attached to the back of it.

Hi Anthony. This depends. How many watts per side on the powered mixer? If you are at like 325 watts or less to 15's then this could be ok if you had 2. You need about 150% of the power that you have going to your mains going to your subs if you have one subwoofer for each main woofer. Your powered mixer would also need a passive balanced output for the monitor.

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.

I just bought one and it does have a sub-woofer out, but my old sub-woofer (unpowered) does not work, i am trying to find out if i need a powered one. Does anyone know?

No, it can't power a subwoofer. The only output is an RCA connector so you have to use a powered speaker.

I was advised by my stereo guy that this amp was good for (1) sub.... which I have. I have a 300watt "Total" subwoofer (JBL sub-class). Works great for my setup. Yours...... maybe not. I would suggest a dual output amp to run each subwoofer. I believe this amp is a single output. Hope this helps...

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

I am assuming your subwoofer is not amplified. If that is the case you can bridge this amp and feed it to your subwoofer.

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

Depends on the watts of your subwoofer. If it's less than 200w, it should work perfectly

I am not sure what you mean ? Most speakers are connected via RCA cables .../which it has . A sub-woofer usually has it's own supply of power coming from a 120 volt outlet ...unless of course you are connecting via BLUETOOTH . This source of power [ 120 V ] is normally located near where the sub-woofer will be placed [ not near the amp .] Unless of course you do it wireless ...BLUETOOTH .
