No, the CVA-118x is an active speaker, it has a built in pre-amp for line level boost. If anything, you will be reducing power with this beast, I am running it about 1/3 power in my home theater and it knocks the pictures off the wall and almost breaks the windows. You will need a dedicated 20 amp plug for it though.

Def Tech's manual states 20 to 150 watts. Check your Yamaha's owners manual for your output.

I have a 175 watt Yamaha receiver and I bought and returned the ave version because it wouldn't even turn on my receiver from the battery ports but did work through the surge port. I Plan on buying the PFC version but haven't as of yet

You shouldn't need to have another booster after the distribution amplifier in my opinion. I'm driving two TVs and an FM radio just fine with the HDA-200 attached to two UHF directional antennas up attached to my chimney. You may want to examine your input (antennas) to the HDA-200, rather than trying to further boost a signal...

Sure, the remote/rcvr has the ability to boost bass or treble, just set them flat for straight through feed. I do this all the time, send the signal from my workstation to the powered monitors in my office and to a second rcvr on the deck with a small amp and speakers built into the canopy there... works great (also have a third rcvr in my garage/workshop, I que up some Grateful Dead concert sets and let them rip all day long while working in my shop!)

I have a Yamaha with 120 watts per channel. That seems like plenty of power.I don't know if I'd use less than 80. Good speakers for the money

Yes if both connections are ToSlink. You will need the sound source to be amplified from Receiver to have sound. This is a fiber optic cable, same as a wire but on steroids. It does not boost power only supply the audio in it's best format.

This unit boosts the signal far better than the standard preamp found in receivers. I would not recommend plugging this unit into the existing phono jack. It should be in plugged into an auxilary jack that has not power amp.

No, you need a separate 5.1 Channel amplifier. This is not a "Home Theater in a Box". You need something like "Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver" - which will provide enough power to the speakers (as mentioned for this model, 10-120W / channel). Hope this helps.

yes, thats how i have mine hooked up, just use a splitter amplifier to boost the signal.

yes. you will also need another set of cables to go from the pre-amp to your auxiliary input. These are the same cables that are coming out of the turntable into your receiver. I'm assuming your Yamaha receiver does not have a pre-amp.

If your cable signal is digital (most likely), it should help eliminate digital blocks that occur if your signal is marginal. If the digital signal cuts out completely, there may not be enough signal there for the booster to send to your set-top box. (If your signal is still analog, it should definitely improve it.) The booster needs to be installed at the service point where the cable comes into the house so it can boost signals for all televisions. You'll need the Motorola Power Inserter BDP-100/PI Remote Power Inserter to send power to the booster if the service point is outside or not near an electrical outlet, and it isn't included with the booster.

Yes it should, but might not might lack some of the high, mid and low frequencys as your stereo deck normally controls the inputs and the amp boosts the signal from stereo deck

No, I have an integrated amplifier with 65 watts per channel. It's a Peachtree Audio Decco, and it provides plenty of clean power.

run it clean,no gain it will sound great. if you use the gain ,its all you will need..it has plenty of gain

yes it will only give u 25 rms through the factory stereo but if you run an amp kit to the battery it will give u better performance. i did it both ways an i could notice a big difference with it running to the battery for power. Heres the amp kit i used crutch field advised.http://www.crutchfield.com/p_700POWERPK/Power-Pack-Connection-Kit.html

This is a self powered sub woofer meaning you won't need any additional amplifiers. Simply hook it up and enjoy the thumps
