I have a unpowered subwoofer and my receiver does not have an amplifier built in, but it has RCA subwoofer out. Would this allow me to power my sub?

Unfortunately, Nathan, I don't think the Pyle-Pro will help you in this instance. It's really designed to help boost the signal from low-output devices, such as turntables for vinyl records, and other such things that put out a signal, but at a low level. It sounds like you need something that is more powerful than that, something that is actually more specific to a subwoofer, which requires more power than the Pyle-Pro delivers. I wish I could have told you otherwise, but I'm afraid that in THIS case, it simply won't be enough power to get your subwoofer going. Sorry about that!

This mono amp is designed to be used with a "passive", (non-powered) sub woofer. If your subwoofer has a power cord, then it is "active" , meaning it has an amplifier built into it. In this case you don't need the separate mono amp. Simply run an rca cable from your sub-out on your receiver to the woofer.

my sub is starting to get weak for some reason. do you guys know if i can hook up a powered sub to this receiver? im not sure if i can since the sub this came with connects via regular speaker wires (black and red)

There are no power outlets on the receiver. If your subwoofer supports power down with no audio signal, then that should work.

You need an amplifier. There are no head units that im aware of that will properly power a sub.

Sorry I have no idea, I use the Emotiva Stealth 8 speakers which do not require subs and I never felt the need to find out if you could use the RCA outputs for sub woofers.

Yes, you can connect up to 1 subwoofer to this receiver. Keep in mind that it must be a powered subwoofer with an RCA style plug. "Subwoofers," or bass speakers, that use speaker wire will NOT connect to this receiver.

yes, this is the receiver I am using, it sounds great, but you may want to get a powered sub...

No, you can just plug it into either R or L, but if you use a Y adaptor, the subwoofer would be a few db louder.

Connect the wire from the subwoofer to the sub amp and the connect the sub amp via rca cables to an audio out on your receiver.

Nope. The subwoofer is powered but the other speakers need to be driven by an amplifier or receiver. I suppose you could buy a cheap receiver and have the computer audio out as a receiver input and then drive the speakers with the receiver.

You will need a receiver that will power the speakers. Also an RCA cable for the Subwoofer input.

No. the RCA connection will not allow that connection to be made. I made that mistake and found myself not using the wires I purchased. My advise. Take a picture of both the subwoofer and the connection on the back of your receiver and take it to best buy or radio shack. Have the attendant show you what wire to purchase then you can find it online (cheaper). Hope this helps.

If you use the L + R input on the back of the sub the unit will sum the input and create a mono signal for the amp. The sub out on the receiver is a mono signal already all you need is one RCA cable to connect to the sub. On most powered subs the one connection would be to the R input, but double check with the subs instruction info. The signal coming out of both sub outputs is mono. The second output is for hooking up second sub.

No you do not need a sub amp. Run the L/R speaker wires from the speaker output from your receiver to the Omni and then connect your speakers to the OMNI. The wires are labeled for proper connection. Hope that helps!

Technically yes, but it will be under powered. If this is a 2-ohm sub woofer it will be under powered by 200 W if its a 4-ohm it will be under powered by 600 W. Under powering your sub woofer could potentially burn up the amp though.

No, you should buy this. You have a mono RCA out on the receiver, I'm assuming. Running a mono RCA cable to either the "L" or "R" will result in you not getting full range of sound from your subwoofer. Connecting the mono cable to this splitter will allow the subwoofer to produce the full range of sound from whatever source ou are using.
