Will these work without hooking up the sub? I'll want it later on, when I don't live in an apartment, but don't want to alienate my current neighbors.

Yes the speakers work just fine without the sub. The difference will be amazing when you do hear them with the sub.

You'll need a separate amp and it will have to run off your sub out on the main amp. I also used an inline 50hz low pass cross over to help filter out any voice frequencies. They work incredible for the price.

They work perfectly on my subwoofer. Be sure to check that youw subwoofer requires a double plug, though. Some use single plug interlinks.

Yes.Use them in addition to your subs.You will need a separate amp.They are rated for 50 rms.I wouldn't go pass that.Connect them using your sub out on your receiver.

Two subs is definitely not a waste of money depending on your room. If you have nulls and voids a dual sub setup could help fix that.

Sure will... I love mine, and they've worked great hooked to two different amps. You just can't turn them up very far without it being too loud to be in the same room with them

Yes. They will work very well. This subwoofer is absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed.

If your audio-video receiver is properly set up, then yes, they would sound and perform very well with that subwoofer. However, the speakers themselves have enough good bass response that the subwoofer is truly not needed. I have a powered subwoofer connected to my system and it has to be turned down to bare minimum to prevent it from overwhelming the Polk speakers output.

You only need a sub if you want one, but they sound much better with one. I would highighly recommend a sub.

I'm pretty sure they will..I'll doublecheck and get back with you if I see they don't. I'm away from the house today, will check when I get home, however, I use fairly heavy speaker wire myself & I didn't have any problem.

No, but not bad for a non-powered sub. Then again, if you are concerned enough about a powered sub you shouldn't buy an all in one system.

Only thing I could see that would possibly interfere with doing that is the wireless sub. I would contact Polk and see if is possible that there may be interference. Other than that I don't see an issue.

They have binding posts. Use bare wires or banana plugs.But understand that you do need an amp.

Depending on your listenings likes.If you wired these speakers using the bi-amp mode and if you like bass not that deep, then they are ok to be used without sub woofer, just for listening to music.If you mainly or mostly will use them as a part of home theather, they will require a sub as a must."

I don't know if they can work with the subwoofer. But if they do, you would enjoy the sound of the subwoofer.

You don't connect the speakers to the sub. The sub and the rest of the speakers connect to your receiver.

Yes, you can. Think of this system as an invisible wire to your speakers. You hook the speakers themselves to the receiving units with speaker wire, just like they were at the back of your sub. Then at the sub, you hook the wires from the transmitter in the old spot where you pulled out the original wires that went to your back speakers, and it should work like a charm.
