Will the AM10 front and rear speakers still work if the center channel isn't connected to the adapter? I have that one directly wired into the sub.

Absolutely it will work. You just wouldn't use those plugs from the adapter and plug the center speaker directly into the base unit.

Yes, the adapter is just a straight pass-thru device. I also don't have my center channel connected to adapter, but it is connected to to sub.

no it won't if you have 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers. the rear speakers will hook up just fine, but the front speakers will not. it uses a floating ground on the front speakers with just 1 hot wire for the front speakers. you have to run a ground wire from the stereo to the front speakers to get them to work. you can not use the chasis ground for the front speakers. thanks john

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

Not sure I understand what you want to do. Are you talking of using "JUST" this speaker or of using your left right speakers AND this as a center? This alone will not work, but if you are wanting to use left/right speakers and then this as a center it should work. My left/right speakers are roughly six feet apart with my center in the middle and it is very effective. If your amp/receiver supports surround sound you will find that in most movies, etc. the dialogue is channeled through the center speaker. This allows the music and other sound effects to come from your left/right speakers but lets the voices seem to come from the picture itself. It makes for a more natural experience. In normal music listening the center speaker is turned down some or it would over power your left/right speakers and you would tend to lose your left/right separation. Hope this helps some.

Although I use it for the rear speaker setup I'm sure it will work just fine for a front connection. My setup is a 7.1 arrangement.

I used this unit as a center channel only. No discernible difference noted when listening to Movie soundtracks in a "home theater" mode.I have left and right "8 inch driver units" in walls for front left and right. Have not used them (Micca) for rear application

If you wire it into 'rear right +&-' you'll only get the signals/sound effects from that channel right behind you so it might sound odd depending on the movie, like some effects might sound like they are dropping out due to the missing channel. I was actually thinking you could wire both +&- of the rear outputs together and then connect that to your wires running back to the center speaker, but that will change the impedance (ohms) of the speaker and I'm not sure what effect that will have on the sound or your system, so don't try that until you get an expert opinion on that. I'll have to either Google it or dig my old electronics manuals out of the basement. I also have a 6.1 speaker set-up and am getting this receiver but fortunately have a dropped ceiling and can run more wires, just need to get a matched-pair of speakers for the rear. *EDIT* After a little research you're idea of the 'rear left +' and 'right rear-' might work. Do NOT wire one speaker into both outputs. It might damage the receiver.

Short answer is yes. The signal goes out of both the high and low outputs together. I tried it. It worked but I realized to get enough volume to the sub to make it sound good, you were distorting the power to the speakers. They were also really drowned out by the sub. My recommendation and what I ended up doing was to get a 4 channel amp, bridging two channels for the sub and using the other two channels for the speakers. With the amp crossovers, you can really dial in the sound and get the best bang out is the sub. Good luck.

Depending on the wiring harness that you may have, it may or may not work. As far as the Sub, it has a remote turn on wire for the amplifier. I think that is about it.

You'll still be able to use the surround outputs, but not the ones bypassed by your amp

If your speaker connection on the receiver takes rca's, you can try it. in place of the center speaker. If it won't work it won't work.

There is a setting in the bluetooth advanced menu for setting the speakers to "front" or "all". It defaults to front. I'm not sure if it affects the subwoofer, but it might be worth a try...

Yes, I recently added a center channel speaker to my existing 2 front speaker set up. I was running through RCA cables initially, but with the added channel, these are incompatible. I got the optical audio cable, hooked it to my receiver, but have been unable to get any sound whatsoever out of it.

You have to use speaker wire from the receiver to the sub, then your front speaker to the sub which is a hardwired way to do it...

I am no expert, but this speaker is a nice center speaker attached to our receiver. As long as you can connect it separately I don't see why it would not work.

The way I connected my rear (surround) speakers were to the surround amplifier that I placed in the rear of my room. The instructions are indicated in the manual. If you have any other questions, give Sony a call!

I am using fh6-lcr's as fronts and center for two years they are wonderful.Make sure your amp has enough to push them.Remember center channels make the best speakers.Also fyi you have to stand them up vertically for proper sound when using as surrounds,Google for technical reason.
