How to hook this up? Do you need subwoofer output from the receiver?

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!

You need a subwoofer amplifier. Connect the cable out of the receiver to the sub amp, then connect the speaker wires from speaker to the sub amp.

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

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.

if your receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer outlet then you will need a special wire. it's RCA to speaker wire, and it's kinda pricey for a wire. you would have to tie into the left and right speakers, or maybe even all sides of the surround. the quality might be diminished since it's trying to push all the frequencies through the speaker, and not just the lower bass frequencies. heres a link to the wire you would need.

Your subwoofer out probably needs to go out to the amp. At the subwoofer out from the amp, is where you can split the signal and send it to both subs. That's what I would do.

These do not need a receiver as an amplifier is already built into the speakers themselves, specifically in the box of the subwoofer. Any audio source with a 3.5mm headphone jack output can be plugged in to make these speakers play sounds.

The receiver has 2 subwoofer outputs. You can use either of them with an RCA cable to plug your subwoofer. I did exactly that with my own. If one day in the future you think you need a second subwoofer, you can use the other Onkyo output to plug it.

There is not a "high level" output on the unit. There is a "high level" input for older receivers that do not have a dedicated subwoofer output on them.

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.

You will need to purchase a cable seperately. It did not come with a subwoofer cable.

You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.

All ur receiver needs is a sub pre-out. So an RCA connection. Plug in to LFE(Low Frequency Effects) on sub.

You don't connect the speakers to the sub. The sub and the rest of the speakers connect to your receiver.

there are different ways to wire it, if your receiver has a sub-out plug on it just get a powered subwoofer cable and plug into either r or l on the woofer. Does not matter which one. hope this helps.

I believe with this receiver, the sub gets connected with a coaxial cable. Even though there are two coax outputs for sub, my sub only has one input so I use the right output. I don't believe there is a way to use positive and negative connection wires (speaker wire) to the sub unless you get some kind of low-high level converter converting the wires from the sub to the required input on the amp

Sorry, I never hooked a sub woofer to mine so I cant give you any advice on that.Cal
