Does the sub-woofer require its own electrical power? Thank you.

Yes, it plugs in separate and is usually required to be in the corner of the room.

Not powered. Need to be connected to an AMP. Has great sound. Added a small subzero 100 sub-woofer.

Yes it needs power and it comes with the 5v power supply included that plugs into it. I was very satisfied wit the unit. I amplified the analog output using cheap computer speakers then pluging headphones into the jack on the computer speakers. The pictures and whats included in the box is shown out on the amazon site.

Thing is that the subwoofer needs to be active , most (or all for what I know) receivers dont send energy thru coax just the signal of sound , like in my case , and did nothing , so i had yo put an amp in between the speaker and receiver

I swapped out the speakers for more powerfull outdoor speakers. The sub woofer has to be connected, power goes thru it if i remember correctly. Hope this helps.

The speakers are not self powered. I am playing though my receiver and with a separate sub-woofer.

NO. This is a powered subwoofer. It only powers itself - it has no other powered outputs. It uses ALL the power it makes to create AWESOME bottom end, including subsonics (explosions, earthquakes, etc...)

Yes, then plug your front left and right from the sub-woofer. Sound and sound control is better when connected like this. Cheers

Not that I remember . The amp is a mono block 200 watt built to power that sub

actually-I haven't tried to use it I have the subwoofer plugged into back of reciever so do not require the feature. For 100 bucks your getting a lot of subwoofer for your money!!

According to the installation manual a amp or powered sub is required to use the sub output.

Yes. Besides that, the codes connecting sound bar to the main box are white, not black. Sub woofer does not need wiring.

Yes It does. But I just setup my PC last night and didn't plug it in. I've heard it's not that good. We'll see.Update: I used the subwoofer for a few days and it's not any good. In fact, I removed it and plugged back in my logitech 2.1 speaker system and the PC came alive.

Yes, the sub is powered, from the receiver. The sub and speakers are all wired.

No, unfortunately it's 110V only. I run the subwoofer with a Simran 200W power converter in Germany since more than 2 years without any issues.

The sub-woofer is powered individually by a AC power plug and it will connect to the receiver with a RCA cord.

Dear John--Perhaps I guessed wrong. If the sub-woofer hums when you touch the RCA plug on the end of the cable, it is indeed an amplified sub-woofer. I share your expectation that the sub-woofer should work when the RCA plug is plugged into the STR-DH800 subwoofer output. All I can think of is to double check the Speaker Pattern setting of the STR-DH800 as described on Pages 20 and 47 of the Operating Instructions--if the selection isn't X/X.1, the sub-woofer will not be enabled. Good luck!Bill
