Is there any way to hook up a subwoofer to this receiver?

Yes, there is an area on the back of the receiver to the upper left of the area marked "speakers" for a connection to the Subwoofer with an RCA standard plug. It is labeled Subwoofer, and has one plug.

There is a sub woofer RCA jack on the back side, if you need two RCA connects buy a splitter from some store like best buy or radio shack. The other way I have connected a sub is to attach in series with the other forward speakers with speaker wire.

if you have a surround system this will work. if you just want a subwoofer it should work as well.

John, According to the R-S201 owners manual there is no SUB OUT connection. You would have to use a receiver with a sub out connection. There is a work around that is more than I can describe here.

Please consider getting a receiver with a Sub-out. The sound quality will be improved beyond your wildest dreams.

You need a subwoofer amplifier. Connect the cable out of the receiver to the sub amp, then connect the speaker wires from speaker to the sub amp.

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.

This subwoofer does not accept any RCA cables, just XLR and 1/4. If you got a good quality RCA to XLR converter/cable, then you should be able to use it with a home receiver.

It can not. You will have to run a cable from the receiver to the subwoofer.

The receiver has 2 subwoofer outputs. You can use either of them with an RCA cable to plug your subwoofer. I did exactly that with my own. If one day in the future you think you need a second subwoofer, you can use the other Onkyo output to plug it.

No, you can just plug it into either R or L, but if you use a Y adaptor, the subwoofer would be a few db louder.

Yes. The receiver has two subwoofer outputs. They cannot be separately controlled from the receiver.

No you can't. You can connect through and audio receiver or surround system. There is no optical coming out of the subwoofer. I have mines hook up through an onkio Receiver

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

if your receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer outlet then you will need a special wire. it's RCA to speaker wire, and it's kinda pricey for a wire. you would have to tie into the left and right speakers, or maybe even all sides of the surround. the quality might be diminished since it's trying to push all the frequencies through the speaker, and not just the lower bass frequencies. heres a link to the wire you would need.

Yes, you'll need to buy a cable. They're very cheap at Amazon. Just make sure it's long enough. If there are two inputs, one right and one left, you'll need a 'Y' adapter at the subwoofer I'm not sure 'cause mine is boxed up. A r/l input will work with one cable, just connect it to the 'sub out' jack from your receiver and plug it into the 'R' input on the sub.

You can easily add a subwoofer to a system. There is a dedicated subwoofer out port.
