These have a sub out. If i turn the speakers up or down, will the volume of the sub follow suit? Or do i need to adjust the volume on the sub as well?

In short, ... yes to both questions! There's a sub-woofer output on the rear of the "master" speaker. Even though most times your powered sub-woofer will have its own output "volume" control, the volume control for the Kanto speakers will adjust for all, including the powered sub. I (always) use a 75 watt sub-woofer indoors, and a 100 watt sub out on my deck. (which is where I primarily use my system) In both of these applications, .... these speakers absolutely rock~!

If you're asking if these subs will fill a room with sound then the answer is yes!! they will work best in a small to medium size room..Not sure of "continuos power. look up "specs". You won't need to turn the volume up on these past halfway!!

A subwoofer will help, but you'll want a particularly intense one if it's to make a meaningful difference. These pound at lower frequencies than a 10" Polk sub I use for a different system, and they do it very well. I wouldn't say not to get one to fill in the even lower frequencies if you'd like, but you won't feel like you're missing too much if you don't have one.

The volume knob is on the left speaker at the bottom of the front. Turning it right turns the volume up and turning it left turns the volume down. If you are not getting any sound make sure you have them turned on via the switch on the back of the left speaker and everything connected properly, the instructions in the manual are quite clear so give it a read.

No, you want your front speakers to be your ear level, same with center. I just installed these as a 7.1 set up. 4 in ceiling and the rest are up front on entertainment center. Think about your voice sounds coming from the top up in the ceiling, not nice.

No, these units have very nice bass response. You could add a subwoofer if you like floor shaking bass, otherwisethe speakers sound very balanced with a good low end.

I dont know what kind of amp others are using but these speakers DO NOT need a sub. They are good down to 30hz.But yes, if you want anything lower than that, than yes, you will need a sub.

To tell you the truth I don't even use them. They have an echo effect when you turn them up. Don't like that. To try to answer your question most of the others hit it on the head,make sure the volume is turned up on the speakers and make sure the base unit is on. Best of luck to you.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

I dont think it matters. It depends on how powerful you wanted it to sound. I live in an apartment and the sub above is what I have and it rattles the whole complex and thats not in full blast. Its a good purchase on my end. It depends on your sound tolerance. Sometimes the bass is too loud it feels like youre having a heartattack! I kid you not!

You can turn the sub way down in the EQ settings, but I'm not sure if you can turn it off. When you turn down the volume the sub isn't too powerful, depending on what you're watching.

Depends ..how you place them is important I found out.Any place I tried sounded bad until I put em 8" from the floor.They have good mids if set a 8o hz crossover. Lower they sound good but a lil less so .The 153s are better and have a airy quality that is great , their off axis much better also. But I don't like using a sub for music and at full range these excel .Decent bass and all ,that is if you turn up the volume.At low volume..um no .Always some trade off,no speaker is perfect .For movies and the sub on they are great.I cross over at 70 for that.

Yes if you have the adapters! FYI! Pull the volume knob off and glue them back on or they will vibrate off! I lost bith of mines but went back and foibd them! I love these speakers! No joke

Hi, Depends on your stereo. Some stereos have the option to adjust the subwoofer level, the frequency gain and etc. This one have some knobs on the right side were you can adjust them too.

Bill, I doubt anything "went wrong", but the Yamaha may not deal with potential impedance differences between your main speakers and your sub. Luckily, Yamaha allows you to set up levels for each set of speakers (front, center, back, sub) from within the setup menus. Using the remote, do the following:setup -> speaker -> level -> scroll down to "sub" and raise the level (default is flat (0db)) until you like how it sounds. hope this helps,gfd

They are 1500rms. Between 750 and 850 is optimal for these. I have a 3200.1bd Zeus pushing 2 of these 12's. It's turned way down of course. I Listen at loud volumes all the time and I haven't had any issues. You were probably pushing it to hard. Try turning the amp down. If I didn't purchase these I would have chosen a different sub. If money isn't a object try sundown audio D2's. If you want to stick with L7's then just turn your amp down so because anything over its peak watts is just producing heat which will blow your subs every time! Hope this helped
