Just a tech question. Will this subwoofer work with just about any modern receiver? I have a receiver right now that came with my surround sound system, it uses an unpowered subwoofer. It is an okay receiver, but definitely not top notch. The receiver...

Hi i plugged my SC6000 into the sub out on the OPPO blu ray player as I don't have a receiver and I have my speakers which are Martin Logan vantage electrostatic driven by a 450 watt ASR amp. The power of this sub is such that I run volume at about 8 and cross over 90 ON THE SC6000 and still sounds good with high end equipment. So yes it will work with any receiver- read manual first, or a good Blue ray player.

The receiver does not have speaker terminals for the subs instead it has a sub out which means that the output is preamp so passive subs won't work. Active subs (powered) are solution to the power need to the amplifier to reproduce deep low frequency. If you can't part with the bass module, this receiver is not for you. Otherwise just replace the bass module with a powered sub just realize it probably can't compete with the Bose bass module.

No. It is designed to be connected through a Bose subwoofer. It does not mean that it will not produce sound with other receivers but it will be flat and may eventually get damaged. For Bose subwoofers only. Loose~lips~sink~shipsSent from iPhone 6Via international

I will be able to provide a definitive answer if you can provide me the model of the receiver. To get this sub working, you either need a LFE out ( a co-axial port usually available on most of the basic receivers) or a sub-woofer speaker screw-in ports. To get the most out of this sub, i would prefer LFE out to connect to the sub.

It does operate with a receiver. It has a switch so that you can use it with receivers that don't have a Phono input. I am using an outboard Cambridge Audio pre-amp and I honestly cannot tell a difference between using the internal pre-amp or the external I use. To put it simply, yes, you can use it with whatever type of receiver you choose. I recommend using a stereo receiver.

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 get the need for the AV cable, but does a single male to male cable work? The subwoofer has left and right in-jacks, so do you need to buy a female to male splitter to connect to the male/male cable coming from your receiver's sub/out? I think the instructions say you can hook up the AV cable to the sub/in Left but why wouldn't you want to use a right and left sub/in hookup? I don't get it? Also, can someone tell me whether 16 g speaker wire is good enough or is 12 g better? I'm not too tech-savvy.

Idk. I have a pioneer elite vsx 33 receiver pushing my sub......my neighbors tell me that it rattles their walls from time to time. This sub is way more than I need but I like it.

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

Yes It will work with any receiver. I used it with my Yamaha, and did not have any problems.However, make sure your receiver is not too powerful. If it is too powerful, and you crank up the volume, you may damage the speaker.I have since traded my Yamaha for a new Bose system which included a new center channel speaker

I had better luck with a company called amphony. But yes these work with any receiver. You hook the transmitter up using speaker wire to the receiver then you hook two receivers to each back speaker. Each component plugs into an electrical outlet. There are three pieces all hard wired to an electrical outlet, the receiver and back left and back right. I bought this and one speaker recever didnt work at all. I contacted customer service and to this day no one ever contacted me. I bought an amphony system that works the same way and everything works fine.

Have you tried a subwoofer that works? It will not work if the signal being emitted is not decoded to send the signal to the subwoofer, like Dolby surround.

I bought the Pioneer Andrew jones designed SP--PK52FS speakers system with the powered subwoofer to match. Al speakers are very bid and work very well with this receiver. Remember the sub woofer has its own power supply. You have full control of everything regarding what the speakers do and don't have to worry about any " automatic" strange stuff happenning

I have the Yamaha RX-V367 and it works great with this receiver.. I would think it will work with any receiver. The only issue I have is that the power must be turned on and off separately on the woofer as there is no interconnection between my receiver model and the woofer. Maybe you have such a connection. Anyway, it works well.

If your receiver has a subwoofer pre out, and you have a sub cable, then it should work fine. This sub only had an extension of 30Hz, so you might need something that digs deeper for rap music.

I cannot think of any reason why it would not work just fine. I am not proficient in sound numbers but my receiver is 100 watts per channel and have 4 of the 6 speakers pairs hooked up and it works just fine. No problems at all.

Yes, it will work with any other speakers as mains. It is best to use your "sub out" on your receiver to send the signal to the subwoofer. The main speakers are unimportant as far as brand name. However, most people choose to use all same brand for their fronts, center, and rear surrounds though because they are voiced similar to eachother (have similar sounding characteristics) Hope that helps you out.
