I bought this system plus two satellites. I have a Yamaha RX-V775 for this setup. As the sub is powered, which line out do I use for it? Thank you!

There should be a sub line out, mine had a single line out and I had to buy a 2 into 1 RCA adapter to make it work.

It produces the same output in both. So it doesn't matter. I think it only makes a difference if you're using the sub as your main amp as well to power speakers. I've had it in the top port and it's worked great.

If the receiver has two preouts it is meant for two separate subs. If just running one sub on your system then you just need to use one cable from your receiver to your sub and leave the other preout alone.

hello. i am a previous purchaser of this item and was asked to answer your question. unfortunately, i do not know the answer. but i decided to respond to let you know my opinion of this product. i use this subwoofer with the satellite speakers in my work shop. the sound is absolutely amazing. this subwoofer can be adjusted for a super low rumble to a tight punch. i hope this helps.Rich

I purchased a separate subwoofer to compliment the speaker. I am totally satisfied with this system; the sound is amazing! I recommend this system without reservation.

Yamaha receiver? I run mine with a digital 4 channel fx mixing board and have it wired out to two 750w peak pa speakers (sub + horn). Works fine

I would recommend NOT using these with a different reciever. the Sub unit has a LF and HF passthrough filter system. the highs are directed through the amp to the satelittes. the lows to the sub, and neighter gets the other. if you can really control the passed FRQ's and keep the lows out of the signal you should be able to use them.

Thanks for your question. Although the subwoofer is self powered, the five satellite speakers require an amplifier so you would need a receiver. Your computer sound card will not play them. This is a fantastic sounding system. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Boston Acoustics dealer.

Hello Louise, Buy a sub that has Speaker level inputs and outputs on the back ( many polk, sony, bic etc. do). Simply install right and left speaker wires to the amp as you normally would for regular speakers. Then conect those wires to the r/l speaker INPUT on the back of the sub. Then run seperate wires from the r/l OUTPUT on sub to your speakers. Works and sounds great! Hope this helps. S

This receiver can play up to 7+2 (7 satellite and 2 subs) by itself. If you want to go to the full 11+2 (11 satellites and 2 subs), then you will need a supporting amplifier to drive the additional speakers, but the Yamaha will deliver the content (e.g. movie, music, etc.).

The manual seems to indicate that the sub connects to the preout. It says if you are using a non powered sub, you need to run it through another amp. Long ago when I was using a non powered sub I used an old receiver in line to power the sub. I feel it is best to get a powered sub and let it do the work rather than drawing power from the receiver.

Nope, it's just a passive ( speaker level ) inputs sub. You could in theory hook up a cheap amp/receiver and then run speaker wires to it, but I doubt you would see any major quality upgrade. The thing sounds great in the yard... Better now than last year I think. I have it mounted under my deck, and the bass just blends perfect with the satellites.

There is a line level subwoofer output but not a speaker level subwoofer output. I am using a powered subwoofer with RX-A830.

The sub being used would need to have RCA inputs(how mine us currently setup). I guess you could rig up a splitter off of one of the speaker inputs. Or if your sub has input/output for speaker wire you could do that too.

I love this Onkyo. However, I recently added a Sony BluRay to my system and to get an extra input I connected it via 6 cable 5.1 direct route (You select Onkyo DVD Multi here). But, I don't understand why there is no output from my powered subwoofer. The optical/digi connections work the sub fine.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.

I would encourage you to hook up the sub to your receiver first to see if you need the amplifier. Unless you are calling your receiver an amp.The sub gets hooked into your right And left out the the speakers get hooked up to your sub speaker...marked left and right.

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.
