Can I add these Yamaha NS-IW360C to the Yamaha NS-SP1800BL system to make it 7.1? Also do they also require speaker wire? I want to add them to the Yamaha RX-V673 receiver. Would all this work? Thanks.

I installed these speakers in cabinets for a 5.1 surround sound system, so they should work with a 7.1 system and yes they require speaker wire.

I have a 5.1 setup, I have 2 micca for my rears, and a Yamaha rx v475 pushing them, I've had them for a couple months, and they sound great, hope this helps!

Hi richard, of course you can add a CVA-118X, you'll have deeper bass, more weight, more punch with a 18 "with a 15" right now man a P1800SX, is slightly more expensive and best under the CVA-118X, frequencies ranging up to 272dB, the CVA has up to 136dB, is very good convinacion that you do, sounded fine, greetings.!

Thanks for the update! I'll look into the BX-1021, did you have to use a special cable to connect it to the IM600? Altec told me last week that the sub-woofer for the VS-2421 would work as well. I'm little leary as they have given me bad advice before. My remote for the IM600 died back in March, it's taken me this long to get a replacement. They said it shipped, then said it was out of stock and would ship when they got them in (2 months ago), didn't ship, had to call (2 weeks ago) with still no remote, called again last week, hopefully it's on it's way. Not impressed with their CS.

I don't see that as a problem. I have my CS20 hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V671 which has about the same output. Should sound great!

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.

I bought a house recently with what appear to be Nxg NX-C60 80 W RMS Speakers in the ceiling. Would the Polk CS20 work well with those? I have a Dennon 1612 Receiver. Thanks for your input.

Yes, it is fine to use a 5.1 system with a 7.1 receiver. A 7.1 receiver means you can connect up to 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. This allows you to add 2 more speakers in the future.

Hello...these speakers require wires. I use them as surrounds in my 7.1 system. They are very good.

I noticed the weakness in the included sobwoofer as well and went ahead and followed your recommendation to get the Polk PSW10 but now I see that the included wires are built into the Panasonic's sub woofer. I bought RCA connectors for the Polk but cannot find the connectors anywhere to make the connection to the BT-330. How did you accomplish the connection without ripping out the attached wires?

In order to use these speakers you need to buy a stereo receiver. There are many available. I bought a Yamaha rxv 373, w two Pyle pcb3bk speakers and spent less than $200. I already owned a JBL Northridge e series 10 inch 150 watt subwoofer from a previous application. W these purchases combined, I have a really nice system for minimal $ Once you have these things in place you then use a hdmi cable to connect the receiver to the TV.

Nope, this is just the speakers. You'll need speaker wire to attach it to anything, and you will probably need a receiver to plug the individual speaker wires into. I use a Yamaha, works great.

how do I connect these speakers to a turntable that has a RCA connection. Do I need to splice that cable and use speaker wire for the connection? I also just found out I will need to get an amp.

I am using a Pioneer 7-channel receiver whose model number is VSX 816 I bought 7 years ago. These Bose speakers run well with this receiver. If you want more bass, you can buy an additional sub woofer for perfect sound.

No, you will need to provide the speaker wire. I bought 16 ga Monster Cable because I was separating the speakers by quite a distance and wanted the best conductors I could get. Also, you will have to provide the wire from the subwoofer to your receiver. The speakers really sound great.

Hello out there!I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems with this Yamaha receiver RX-V665!!! My unit shuts off when I increase the volume and when I use the speaker optimizer. The manual and "Yamaha Live" techs attribute this to my speaker connections. I have checked and rechecked, cut, twisted and tightened my connections over the past 3 months with no results. My older JVC receiver runs my speakers just fine. I recently was sent a replacement receiver and the problem persists. Are these receivers useless??

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh
