Does this run a surround sound unit? Will it run 4 indoor and 2 outdoor speakers, plus a subwoofer?

This is not a stand alone unit. If you can connect the audio cables from this unit into a receiver then it will play through your speakers. You cannot connect speakers to this and have it play music, it is not a power (amplifier).

Yes, great sub for the money. I haven't had any troubles with running my surround speakers through the outputs.

This isn't 500W, nor does it have five speakers; but it sounds pretty nice for only two speakers. I'm satisfied with this purchase and I think that you would be as well, as long as you're not trying to replace a true surround sound from five speakers. I would recommend this system.

What receiver...? This is a switching device, splitting 2 channels into 4 speaker pairs. Yes it can be hooked up and operated to run 4 living room speakers and your outside speakers. You may experience some volume loss, but it would still work fine.

I have no problem running large front speakers along with a sub.... with the rear surround speakers at the same time.Phil

I have an AV Receiver that is 5.1 and have my center, 2x front and my powered sub directly plugged into the AV Receiver. My two rear speakers use the Soundcast SCS100 SurroundCast System.But as Spirit of 76 said, you cannot run a powered subwoofer in addition to the two speakers through this system. The powered sub will need to directly connect to your AV Receiver.

Not as such. There are only two spring-loaded speaker wire connections. You could probably run 4 speakers by splicing the wires so that each connection fed two speakers. Should be enough power if you'not trying to rattle the walls.

Yes, but you will have 3 sets of stereo speakers,none being surround sound or all being surround sound, depending on where you connect your main wires to on amp.

the receiver is a 9.2 channel capable amp...therefore it can run 4 pairs of speakers and a center channel speaker...also 2 powered subwoofers...thats 2 fronts, 2 rear surround, 2 side surrounds, 2 outdoor or b speakers & a center channel speaker...2 subs also...it is an outstanding clean powerful razor sharp receiver...i am impressed!!!

I really can't answer for sure. I only used 2 speakers outdoors while connected to a receiver indoors with two other speakers (4 total) The receiver was not a high powered receiver. They worked just fine for my application. For the price of the speakers they were good quality and preformed well.

I wouldn't set it up like that...I would definitely get 1 amp to run the speakers, and 1 to run the sub. I purchased a 1000w amp for the subs, and this amp for the 4 speakers. Works great.JL W6 12V24x Infinity Kappa Perfect 6 1/2

My answer is the same as the rest. It has one input and 4 outputs...for speakers. If you want to rig 4 receivers, for a sound show or something, use a soundboard.

All speakers will play for both, only true surround sound when plugged in TV... and i don't know what they are talking about, this system is wonderful! if you have any questions about it keep posting them, and i'll answer them. I have the system myself and i love it!

It is one speaker. with a crisp sound.. no it doesnt have a surround sound.. if you are having a big party maybe this wouldn't be a speaker to use... but if you love music for yourself or you have a small party of 10 or less its cool to have.

I asked the same question! It is a stand alone unit and has excellent sound output. Although initially I had hoped to incorporate in my other surround sound speakers, I am pleased with the Polk system. An alternative could be the Definitive Technology MYTHOS XTR-SSA3 unit that has receiver compatibility.

The unit can handle input from 2 amplifiers or receivers and direct it to up to 4 pairs of speakers. You can also input 2 different outputs from one receiver (such as front versus surround output) and thereby select whether or not a specific pair of speakers will function as front speakers or surround (rear or other) speakers in a given system.
