Will this work on a non powered subwoofer?

Powered or non powered doesn't matter. The wire is only carrying a communication pulse to your speakers

yes it works fine! don't worry! as long as your sub is calibrated properly to reference level volume with the rest of your system it should work fine

I don't think that will work unless you have an amplified tube or subwoofer. That subwoofer out is unpowered meaning signal only so it is designed to fed into an amplifier

It doesn't. You have a subwoofer amp, and a preamp output for an external amp. The subwoofer doesn't put out any watts to the receiver unless the subwoofer has a built-in amp and you hook it up REALLY wrong.

I am using mine to connect two subwoofers to one sub-out on my receiver and it works perfectly. It should work for you to do that too.

I'm sure it would work, but why? you have to worry about the wattage of the signal going in and then you have to convert your AC to DC to power this unit. Better off buying or building a sub that can take the high power speaker input rather than line inputs.

seeing as two other people already answeredhere http://lmgtfy.com/?q=why+you+need+an+amp+to+power+a+subwoofersimply put you need an amp to power a subwoofer otherwise it wont work

no cause it's a amplified signal. if you send a amplified signal to your powered speakers it will probably blow the powered speaker's internal crossover or internal the amplifier.get a two way crossover and use the regular outputs on the subwoofer

this will work if the sub can handle the power at 4 ohms: 150 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 300 watts x 1 chan.

It's really not meant for subs, it would have to be a very small subwoofer or a subwoofer that doesn't require that much power. It has a hi-lo pass filter in it so it can be used for subs but I wouldn't recommend this for subs. It might be able to push like a 4" sub or a low rms 8" sub

Yes it will power a sub but most subs have their own power amp built in. Consider running it in bridge mode as subs need a lot of power.

A subwoofer's wattage would be delivered to the speaker, not the receiver. This is a moot question.

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.

Yea...All the speakers will work normally. I use this just for the amp connected to the subs only.

I don't believe it would. Subwoofers normally require a different audio source- not just speaker wire.

You can if your subwoofer has "speaker level" inputs. Many subwoofers do, just check the specifications.

you probably needa Y jack to do that and they sell them all over. I would not try that tho until I contacted the manufacturer to see if that can be done. If they are both powered by amps then they may conflict with each other. Only a manufacturer can tell you that. A Y jack would work but you have to make sure your impedance levels match. I would contact the manufacturer to be safe. I would hate to see you blow the subwoofer out.
