Is it possible to hook up a 2.1 speaker system to this amp? If so, how?

This device only has two output channels, so some form of separate crossover would need to used from the outputs. I think adding components like that would defeat the purpose of buying a simple stereo amp like this, though. I'm using mine to drive left and right speakers which themselves have separate subwoofers built in to each of them, although there's no crossover circuitry; it's just two sets of wires coming out of each speaker. I put the subwoofer wires into the same amp output holes as the main speaker wires, so I'm not actually getting a discreet sub channel. I'm sure the EQ is way off, but for my purposes and at low volumes, it's not essential.

Additionally, another post said you can't connect to your amp directly via speaker wire output but that is false. You safely can (I do) and the owners manual also supports this.

Yes and no its only a 2 channel amp meaning 2 + and - for 2 speakers you would have to put 2 speakers on each + and -. Like both front and both rear on a + and -.

Simply adding two more speakers to your system does not make it a 7.1. You risk burning up the amplifier by having speakers with mismatched impendences. Upgrading your speakers is great but speaker impedances have to match and your amp has to say it can handle that load. Far more bad scenarios then good for what you are looking to do.

Just connect your front and center speaker wires direct from the amp. It has the connectors on the back. Very straight forward.

To safely hook up a 6.1 speaker system you need to do this. Wire your single surround back speaker to the L + and - terminals. Next go to the menu and select "Speaker". Then select "SP pattern" and scroll up or down until you find the correct speaker setup, i.e. 6.1, 7.1, 5.1 with 2 front highs, etc. Hope this helps!

I wouldn't set it up like that...I would definitely get 1 amp to run the speakers, and 1 to run the sub. I purchased a 1000w amp for the subs, and this amp for the 4 speakers. Works great.JL W6 12V24x Infinity Kappa Perfect 6 1/2

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

No, you would need a separate amplifier. Your other option is to return the Control 1 speakers and get the C2PS Control 2P speakers instead.

You would have to cut off the two little speaker plugs, strip each of the four wires back half and inch, separately twist the strands for each wire, and plug those wires into the amplifier's speaker connections. There is a picture on the Amazon ad for this amp that shows the back and what the speaker connections look like. This is not complicated but you have to end up with the wires from one speaker going into the amplifier's left two speaker connectors (+, -) and the other speaker wire going into the two right speaker connections (+,- do not matter much in small systems, but if the speaker wires are color-coded then you may as well match with the "+" and "-".).

Yes you can, as tom said this particular model has the Pre-Amp built in, which means if you have speakers with an amp built in and rca connections in the back it will work by directly plugging it into the speakers. however, as Tom has also said, If your speakers are unpowered and hooked up to an amplifier, it must then be hooked up to the amplifier instead of the speakers.

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.

These Amplifiers are for floor speakers only. You can hook up 4 speakers if you want but it was not designed for 5.1 surround. Its a Kickin' amplifier. Lot of power....Hope this helps.

Yes, you can, but even though this amp is most efficient at a 2 ohm load, most factory speakers are only 4 ohm.even at 4 ohms it may have too much power for the speakers, you need to keep the gain below half way!I hope this was helpful!

Neal all u have to do is get a 3.5mms male on both ends? Connect the Fiio? Connect the 3.5male from your 2.1 speakers to the Fioo? I have my 2.1 Klipsh connected like this ,and it's awesome!!!! James C

You don't. This type of amp is designed for 2 channel stereo, not surround or sub. The second set of terminals are meant for speakers in another room or outside.

I am sorry, but the receiver you have doesn't have pre-amp outputs. You can't add any amp to this receiver. Sorry. Some of the higher end receivers have pre-amp outputs that allow you to add external amplification.
