can I use my cable box as an amp/power source to run a pair of remote speakers , which are outside. I dont have an amplifer at this time since there is no room for one. TKS

No. Because the output of the cable box is pre-amp. That is, it is sending a pre-amplified signal only. The SS-4 is a switch box only and does not amplify the signal. It is for sending an amplified signal to remote speakers.

I just use my marantz 5005 receiver and run my audio and video thru the receiver...no separate amp required as long as u have an AV (audio video) receiver

There's a small amplifier in one speaker cabinet, that powers both. Not much of an amp though

If you can find a place to install the amplifier and mount the speakers, it will work. Most folks have room to mount the speakers on the handlebars (I don't). The remote can be mounted a number of ways. The amp is not waterproof! Install it where it won't get wet.

Hi Natalie. In addition to using this unit to convert your speaker output signal to a useable signal for your amplifier, you would also need an amp wiring Kit for power from your vehicles battery, as well as a ground for your amp and a remote turn on lead (Kit usually comes with power wire, ground wire, remote turn on wire, RCA cables). Hope this helps!

What you are thinking of is the old A SPK -- B SPK OR A+B SPK. This was to allow you to use remote speakers on a patio or in a garage, this thing won't let you do that. But you might have an option not mentioned in the book. With the use of a small external stereo Amp and an earphone jack you could use the "headphone" output for your earphones as the source to power the remote speakers, this also cuts out the main speakers. So it's a bit of trouble but I believe a very doable option.

Run your inputs like normal. Switch the amp to bridge and run your single speak-on or banana cable out the output marked Bridge. Keep in mind this amp does not have a built in crossover and you will be sending full range to your sub

You can't use this alone, you need a power amp or receiver. NO you can't! This is not a power amp.

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

Yes you can. It is a easy set up. Right now I have 3 amps and they are used for my theater. It has RCA input and aux input

it depends on your TV if it has an output to drive external speakers or not, most DON'T. Most TVs just have a pre out for you to connect it to a receiver, then the receiver will power the speakers. The sub in this package has its own amp.

Sorry, I used an amp to run my subwoofer, I have a pioneer 1200watt subwoofer, so i didnt want to use only the pioneer deck. i know this does not help you, but i use the deck alone to power my door speakers and they work great.

Where I live I was able to just connect to the cable and that was it. No additional power. Some reviews said they needed an amplifier others said an amp made reception worse. I guess it all depends on your location.

doubtful that you'll need an amp unless your receiver is literally a POS. I would suggest you buy a higher grade speaker wire (I have 16 gauge on mine) and that you bi-wire them as well.

Just split put a line splitter on the audio out. (two RCA lines) Then you also have to splice in another single line on the amp on (remote) wire. You can do this buy purchasing two amp install kits and running the ground and power like normal. and buy these CableWholesale's RCA Audio Piggyback Cable, 2 RCA Male to 2 RCA Male + RCA Female Piggyback, 6 foot plug in the rca from the radio into this and then into one amp then run the other lines to the other amp. then just make a T splice in the remote wire!

Technically, yes, the topping amp can power those speakers. But, the sound quality is not going to be there due to sheer lack of power. You can increase the volume, and it will get louder, but the distortion level of the amp will be high. I am using it too power 2 Dayton 652's for my computer setup, and it works just fine. ymmv

You can use powered speakers but MAKE SURE YOU USE THE UNPOWERED MAIN OUTPUTS. If you don't you could blow your speakers. The powered outputs are the speakon cable outputs on the back. On the top right if the board you will see main out left and right. Those outputs are unpowered and able to work with powered speakers. You are safe to run powered speakers out if any output except for the speakon cable outputs on the back. You will need 1/4 inch cable...not xlr.
