Did you have issues with the wiring? The manual shows to wire it in parallel with the main speakers which puts the total load at 4ohms

I use a Russound SDB 4.1 that can distribute input from an amplifier to 4 pairs of speakers. I have one pair of speakers in my living room, two pairs of satellites and the Sub 10 on my patio. Using the Russound speaker distribution box allows me to wire the Sub 10 as if it were a pair of 8ohm speakers.

That never seem to present as a problem. The 4 wires represent 2 pair (+,-) for left and right channels, and I just wired it to the same external speakers in parallel I have with my sound system. I have found the same result if I had wired an amplified subwoofer to my outputs either through the dedicated subwoofer channels, or tap into the speakers themselves.

I have 2 wires to each of the main speaker outputs on my receiver. One to the Subwoofer and one to the main speakers. it works flawlessly and sounds awesome.

I have not hooked it up yet. On my receiver though I have separate sub woofer outputs. Put if you do hook it up in parallel it would be 4 ohms. Most systems are ok at 4 ohms.

I actually just wired it into the B Channel connections and have had no problems...works great and that was the easiest way of wiring it. so, my speakers are in the A, the sub is in the B and I just flip the switch to A&B.; Hope that helps.

interference of some kind or the speaker wires aren't connected correctly, or may be loose. I hooked ours up the way the amp I replaced was hooked up and the Pyle didn't work. Turned out to be much simpler. The second configuration I tried hummed and the sound was staticy. I think I have all 6 of our PAs combined to 1 set of wires and on one speaker connection and it has worked perfectly all summer. Hope that helps.

Did you ever get an answer or solution for this? I purchased 12 gauge speaker wire but have not installed it yet. I can return it if need be. Thanks!

I too am thinking of getting a 6ohm speaker package with a receiver rated at 8ohm. Are your speakers still working fine with this receiver?

It could be a connection issue. I have no buzz with mine. I think you should check your connections then if that doesn't solve your issue then look into exchanging them. I think they're great speakers!

Not at all. I am running my system also through Kenwood amps at 4ohms. The sound is clean and responsive.

No I have not, but if it's a 4ohm rated amp I wonder if there will be adequate power to sufficiently power them (depending on your needs), as these are 8 ohm speakers.

Check for a possible short in speaker wires .Maybe a small piece of wire lying across terminals on back of unit. Or possible short in reciever.

Check all powers and grounds connection then double check and make sure your speakers are wired to the right resistance

No, Question for you. Did you use all 20ish feet of wire that shipped with the speakers, If so, that is most likely your problem, use as short of wire are possible to reduce the chances of electrical signals feeding into the speaker wire. I took that wiring and threw it in the garbage, grabbed some slightly thicker wire cut it to about 5 inches for signal and ground then soldered the crap out of everything and covered it with shrink wrap. I also reused the OEM connectors.

sounds to me like its defective. I have owned many different receivers throughout the years, and never had that issue. Make sure you don't have any crossed/ touching bare speaker wires also. That can make it reset as a safety feature

I also had an older Creature and I had a similar problem with the new one. I almost returned it before I finally got it to work. Everything seemed to be connected properly but there was no sound. The answer with mine was the connection of the power port on the subwoofer. It isn't as firm as it could be and because of that, it can be difficult to connect properly. And even after it it has been working, if the subwoofer is moved around a bit, the connection can be broken and the sound lost again. When you insert the plug into the port on the sub, try to wiggle it and see if that helps. If it doesn't, remove it, plug it in again and keep trying to move it around. Sooner or later, you should establish contact and get sound. At least, I did. Use of an electronic contact enhancer such as DeoxIt Gold G100L may be of help. This problem is due to a design flaw. If the connection was more solid, this should never occur. Unfortunately, it does. The speakers are so good that it's worth the effort to keep trying to establish a good connection. If you continue to get no results after a while, the problem may lie elsewhere and returning the speakers may be your only option. Please send in a review or comment to this reply and let us know if this has been of help.

I don't know how did you plug in the speakers? It has 7 separate amps! Just be careful about its high-current capability, thats causing the over heating!

you most likely broke the cable connecting the subwoofer to the main box or you didn't connect the wires right

Check all the cables sometimes is that. Also maybe could be dust. Try other speaker with the amp if you can.Hope that helps.

I have biwired them by connecting 4 teminals on my monoblock amps to 4 teminals on each speaker. They can go very laud if that is your question. Actually they sound much better under the load

I used my existing 7 speakers & woofer. You may wish to check that the speakers match this amp. The power or ohms, not sure which. The setup process checks for speakers. I reckon that will just do the right thing b
