Looking to plug this up to my 2.0 vizeo soundbar without a revceiver. Will this subwoofer still perform?

If the soundbar has a sub out then yes, it will work. The sub has its own power supply (it is an active sub) and does not require a receiver to amplify the sound.

It should as long as you have a rca output from the soundbar to the subwoofer

Yes. As long as you have a receiver that does at least 5.1. Plus you need to make sure the inputs for the sub match the inputs for the receiver. Otherwise you may need some adapters to get it to work.I use 4 of these with one center channel being a different Yamaha and it sounds great. My family just visited this weekend and commented about how awesome it was.

The description says "Optimized for use with subwoofers" I'm guessing it's not high fidelity. My sub sounds fine hooked up to it, but if I was going to hook up some regular powered speakers, I'd buy something that's advertised for that purpose.

BTW - only the sub is from the old system. I have a set of Yamaha's for the r/c/l set-up. :)

I am currently using it in a 2.0 setup. A very nice menu makes it easy for initial setup. This powers a pair of definitive mythos towers nicely. Also, the 4k pass through will be valuable in the future as well as the current pass thru without the amp even powered up if you just want to use your TV speakers late at night. Can't help you with the cutoff though... Not sure of all the preamp outs except the sub. This is prosumer level... The manual should specify.

We have a sub woofer so I cannot say how it will sound without one. I can say the sound is great with the subwooferP.S. I just installed a new Bose Lifestyle V325 System that came with a new center channel speaker so I will be posting it for sale on Amazon soon.

I've been wonder this very same thing and thought I would provide a link to the article regarding not using the subwoofer port. I'm not sure if I understand it, but here it is :http://www.polkaudio.com/education/article.php?id=19

All the specs on the sub and the box show that this will work, run 300-500 watts RMS and use a small amount of fiber fill in it and you should be good, I have one of these that I put a Skar Audio sub in and ran 700 watts RMS to it and it sounds pretty tight, The box is great for the price.

I asked Energy customer service about this. They said connect to the LEFT input of the sub only. They were very adamant that it would not degrade the sound. They explained that the Left/Right inputs are there for some (older?) receivers that have split Left/Right outputs for the subwoofer. I was going to by a Y adapter, but they convinced me there was absolutely no need.

I purchased a subwoofer cable for this unit. It is a male to male rca jacked cable. the only difference that I could see is that it was pretty heavy duty. I tried to use this subwoofer with a vizio 42" sound bar. The sound was pretty low! I had to put my ear next to the sub to hear if it was putting out anything. I was told that the soundbar didn't have enough "drive" to use the sub effectively

I love this Onkyo. However, I recently added a Sony BluRay to my system and to get an extra input I connected it via 6 cable 5.1 direct route (You select Onkyo DVD Multi here). But, I don't understand why there is no output from my powered subwoofer. The optical/digi connections work the sub fine.

Depends, if (your) Soundbar has a "Low Frequency" (LF) or "Bass" output, usually a single-RCA jack to a Subwoofer like this Yamaha. If the Soundbar has an output jack, it will cross-over to a subwoofer at 100-200 hz.

Yes the sound bar works without subwoofer turned on. Also, when the sound bar is turned off, the sub woofer goes to 'standby' automatically.

It should be. You'll just have to get a second sub if you want 5.2 surround sound. 5.1 surround works fine for most. My sub finally gave out after five years...

i have a Polk PSW125 Sub, that i have had for a while, it sounds great with the Klipsch Quintet 5.0 speakers, i think that any good powered sub, will do fine.

Not sure if you are asking to replace the subwoofer that comes with the unit with an after-market one. If so, I don't know about compatibility of a non-Vizio sub-woofer. Mine is still working fine and I'm pleased with it.
