Why is a seperate amp needed? These use high level inputs, correct? Just like any other speaker? I do have a passive sub crossover to use.

I have them wired into my car; attached to the back of the driver and passenger seat. For my purpose using an external amp is the only way I could give them enough power, isolate the bass tone, and the added benefit of having a bass level knob is always a plus. If you're doing a home theater system as long as you give them the proper amount of power crossovers will work.

I suppose you could use the passive crossover The idea is that these have sufficient power to drive them and most amps don't have a dedicated sub-woofer output so you are robbing power from elsewhere to drive them you can connect them in parallel or direct to adjust the impedance as you can do with a normal sub I drive mine with a high pass filtered 4 channel amp I have one under each seat in the car I also made a piece of plywood quarter inch thick to mount them to the board is silicone'd and screwed to the bases of the seats to stop rattles works really well

It's just 4 Chanel's you'd have to get a 2nd amp to power a sub or give up 2 speakers. I wouldn't recommend a 2nd amp since the 200 watts is just perfect for the 4 midrange speakers. these sound great by the way.

The high level outputs are just a pass-through from whatever source you're using to power the main or satellite speakers. The "crossover" only controls the max frequencies handled by the subwoofer (it's really a low-pass filter for the sub) and doesn't roll off the low end to the high level outputs.

Hi Eric,I will certainly recomend a seperate amp to power this sub. I tried bridging speakers and adding the sub. It just drew to much from one amp. The amp was getting to hot and shutting down. I chose to go with the Kenwood KAC-5206. This sub sits behind the passengers seat in a 97 Ford Ranger. And man this thing THUMPS!

You need to purchase a separate amp for your 6" speakers. I have two small amps driving 6 speakers, & the sub has its own internal amp. Even if you could use the amp to power additional speakers. You wouldn't want to do that.

Well the impendance is very important to have correctly matched between the sub and amp. Since your amp is for 2 ohms, you need a 2 ohm sub. Or get a 4 ohm amp to be comparable with this sub

Justin, I believe I can help. But You need to give me more specifics. #1-What are you using this for , ( a home stereo, or a PA system or as an insturment amp?)#2-What are you plugging in to the rca jacks?#3-What brand of speakers are you using (be specific, Brand and model-please)#4-any other items you are plugging in or out of this amp#Show me a picture if at all possible (of you entire rig) This is a very good amp if you use it as is meant to be used. I'm only trying to help, (if I can_so include all the info that you can. Extralite Justin, I believe I can help.

I run them off my head unit, use the included crossover so do not use your amp or head unit cut off, I run this with infinity natchingg 6x9 in back and old 10"jl sub, if I turn off the sub it sounds great! And again this running off a Kenwood head unit just mid range not even high end unit.

I believe they are the most efficient car speakers made. I run mine without an amp. Why don't you try this first? You can always add an amp later.

Your subwoofer out probably needs to go out to the amp. At the subwoofer out from the amp, is where you can split the signal and send it to both subs. That's what I would do.

From my understanding this is for bi-amping. I own a set of them though and they come with a bracket that bridges the posts so that you can use them normally. Basically if you intend to use these with any normal surround setup you should just leave them the way they come with that bracket and they sound absolutely amazing.

If you are going to hook up in series you are going to need to add amplifiers because you are going to increase the impedance. My suggestion would be to purchsse a speaker selector switch box which distributes the current evenly and you can turn all on or some off. Speaker switch boxes are normally passive, otherwise you are going to need to biamp or you'll end up frying the car stereo's built in amp.

I've had many amps powering different kinds of subs , to b honest I've had everything from jl to alphasonic and all preformed same to me and I love lot of bass in system. Just make sure you match amps output to sub's . I have a sound stream powering all my full range speakers and alphasonic mono on sub's now ...hits hard

There is not a "high level" output on the unit. There is a "high level" input for older receivers that do not have a dedicated subwoofer output on them.

Not only is there no 'fader' between A & B speakers (which would be nice though it's not a typical feature) but there is no pre-out for speakers so you can't use a separate amp (and still control the volume remotely). There are lots of other useless inputs/outputs and even a pre-out for the subwoofer, but alas no pre-amp output for speakers.

No these do not require a crossover, I believe they have one built in or a HPF built in. I have mine wired to the front door speakers and they sound fantastic. No amps or crossovers needed.

I've read up on this subwoofer, and from what I understand (and see by looking at it), there's no passive input. It can only be run by the internal amp.
