No, there is no port on the back but the sound from these inexpensive speakers is awesome!

I bought the 3 piece system. You probably got the speakers and the amazon basic USB 2.0 Male to female extension You may be needing the SABRENT 4 PORT USB connector for multiple auxiliary items you wish to add. I used my BXR1220 speakers to enhance my small office 24" TV volume and did not need anything else. I simply plugged the USB into the back of my TV ( that supplied the power to the speakers) and I pluged the other lead to my ear piece also in th back of my TV: and they function perfectly. I had no need for the 4 point connection or the adapter(male to female). Those I assume, would be to use with a computer setup should you desire to add a Tablet, Desktop, or some auxiliary unit.

No ports. The USB power wouldn't be able to power a sub. It hardly powers these. Might be the same basic casing but not the same speakers. Big disappointment.

I can see two inputs at the back panel for sub woofer. However, I have added only one.

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.

For the sub woofer to work, connect the sub speaker (+)to the plus *right* on the back bottom of the amp then place the other(-) to the negative *left* speaker connect on the back bottom. Adjust the volume on the front, left knob, then adjust the sub crossover freq with the xover knob next to it. The sub volume is independent to the amp volume. I use this set up on a Dell computer and it works great. I love it. Use the bottom conectors on the back for the sub. This is for SINGLE SUB to work. I have RAMMSTEIN on right now and I'm, loving it.

Ha! So, the question is "how to select the AUX-IN input" the one on the front panel. I just received my amp and the question is still a mystery. It seems to be a dead port. It's not controlled by the Input Selector. And it doesn't seem to override all other signals if connected. And if you've got a manual handy you'll see that Item (16) AUX-IN, is at the very bottom of page 3 and Pyle seems to simply have run out of room for its description. Has anyone gotten it to function?

My sound system receiver fried. I would like to hook this directly to my tv or dvd system. Neither of them have speaker jacks. They both have one rca out or multiple s video/audio spots. How does this hook into them? I do not see any outlets other than speaker wire.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

Does the onkyo txnr-828 have pre outs? You should have rca out that says center, front right, front left etc... You would just run a single rca cable to each of the rca inputs on the amp from left and right channel output on onkyo.. You would then use speaker wire to connect amp to speakers. I am using this amp to power polk subwoofers that the amps burned up. I am running the subs as passive(no internal amp) and this amp is doing a really nice job. If you wanted, you could bi amp the speakers by running the amp in mono mode, you would then need 2 amps, one for each speaker. I am quite pleased with the performance of this amp to date.

Its odd that what Pioneer told you works.It doesn't correspond with what the manual says at all.Are you guys connecting the sub with the subwoofer pre-out (LFE--sub with an amp) or are you connecting an unpowered sub with regular speaker wires?I have a powered subwoofer on the way. I guess I'll see if I have to do the same.

i was wondering what quality and hookup of the speaker wire is that this sysytem comes with. can i switch it out for my own of better quality or is it hardwired to the speaker/system? thanks

I also used a subwoofer cable that plugs into a dedicated plug on the back of my receiver and the same on the SW. Connections work great. I believe you can use 2 wires/banana connectors like the other speakers, but the SW cable works great. Nice deep bass but no rattles.

Quick question... I already have a very nice Klipsch powered subwoofer. I should receive my RM6750 set today. Should I use the new subwoofer as Polk recommends, connecting it to the front channels, and then the front speakers to the Sub, and then connect my other subwoofer to the subwoofer port?If I do this, when I setup my surroundsound in my Sony receiver, should I set the front speakers to large isntead of small, even though they are small? I'm thinking small would strip the lower end frequencies out of the signal, but since I am connecting the subwoofer to the front channels in the receiver, I want to send the full signal, right?

I actually just wired it into the B Channel connections and have had no problems...works great and that was the easiest way of wiring it. so, my speakers are in the A, the sub is in the B and I just flip the switch to A&B.; Hope that helps.

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

I hope you still have the operating manual for this thing because that's where it looks like the answer is, on pages 29-32 under "System Setup". Use "AMP" to assign the rear channels to ROOM 2 and SW M to select the subwoofer mode. There's a "gotcha" here too. There are 2 sets of speaker jacks for the rear channels. One for SURROUND and one for ROOM 2. They are not interchangeable. I learned this the hard way through trial and error. Good luck. This is an amazing piece of equipment once it's configured properly

I'm no expert... but from what I recall the manual did state that you could wire two speakers to the front and use the rear for one sub. Probably a little under powered for the sub though. I am adding a kicker 12 sub, but I am buying a second amp for just that, haven't decided on which one. I hooked mine up to four kicker 6130s in the tower. sounds great and really puts out the sound on the sandbar.
