Can I use a separate amp to drive the front speakers?

Yes but this should handle all of your speakers. Are you setting up more than 7?

Yes, but I suggest you test this unit with your existing speakers before buy the external app. I bought the SC-1223-K for my secondary 7.1 system but decided to initially test it with my primary 7.1 system which is fronted by power-hungry Polk RTI-A9's and they performed quite well with plenty of receiver capacity to spare. I am quite impressed.

I suppose you could use the passive crossover The idea is that these have sufficient power to drive them and most amps don't have a dedicated sub-woofer output so you are robbing power from elsewhere to drive them you can connect them in parallel or direct to adjust the impedance as you can do with a normal sub I drive mine with a high pass filtered 4 channel amp I have one under each seat in the car I also made a piece of plywood quarter inch thick to mount them to the board is silicone'd and screwed to the bases of the seats to stop rattles works really well

Yeah if the speakers are connected to the head unit .. Other wise no I'm assuming you bought the amp To power the speakers so you wouldn't have it connected it to the head unit

I'm no expert... but from what I recall the manual did state that you could wire two speakers to the front and use the rear for one sub. Probably a little under powered for the sub though. I am adding a kicker 12 sub, but I am buying a second amp for just that, haven't decided on which one. I hooked mine up to four kicker 6130s in the tower. sounds great and really puts out the sound on the sandbar.

Yes using the front mains and the surround channels you can bi-amp the front mains. That's how I have my Paradigm Studio 40's and it made quite a difference- though you'll also have to re-equalize the room after

You sure could. You would need to take the Front Stereo channels (L/R) output from your amp, disconnect them from the current speakers and connect them as inputs to this selector. Then you could connect up to four pairs of speakers (even the one currently connected to the amp) to the selector outputs. Each pair could then be turned on/off individually, and thus you would have the option to restate your current setup. Do note that this equipment is passive, thus it does not amplify the signal, it only divides whatever audio signal comes in between the various speaker pairs. Most receivers those days, however, have plenty of power to drive several speaker pairs at decent sound volumes. If you are going to drive stereo speakers in the manner described above, be sure to set your receiver to stereo/2-speakers (out of surround) otherwise you will find the sound distorted in the other room.

You can just run your main amp wiring to the high level inputs and then run the needed wire from the sub to the front speakers. If your amp is a integrated preamp with mutable pre-outs you can run a RCA from the secondary pre-outs via a single RCA cable. This will give you a 2.1 setup with the sub playing only one channel of the possible two channels. Mono powered subs can run a single channel and it will not sound as though your missing out.

Yes...this has post and binding for the front speakers and there is a second set of alligator connections for the rear speakers. With the use of additional channel boxes the amp has plenty of power to run speaker in parallel of one another.

Not sure but supposed you could. Wiring possibilities are available if you're creative and have know-how, you'd need to have sufficient amp to pump volume you want across all speakers.

I believe you can use the input/thru XLR on this to pass back to an amp that powers the passive speakers. But this will NOT power your passives, if that's the question.

In my system, each of the channels goes to an L820. As long as the connectors are3 in place it will fully adapt to all signals sent to it. If you split the front channels to be bi-amped (I have and Onkyo TX-NR820) then you can't use side speakers. Barring that, let your A/V amplifier handle all of the audio.

I use mine as a center channel speaker with mixed bag surround system. It would be best to use some type of amp.

No, the only amplifier included with this system is the one build into the sub-woofer, and I don't think it has enough extra power to drive another speaker.

Your receiver has plenty of power to drive the Polk speakers. You don't need the extra amp.Good luck

These speakers require a separate amplifier. I use them as surrounds in my system and they have served me well.

According to the manual, you can. It even has dual rca ports for connecting one amp to the other.

Yes, id bridge the speakers so u would get the full power out of the Amplifier.
