Is this only for subwoofers or would this also work for regular speakers? I see nothing about frequencies it can transmit (e.g. 2 Hz to 20 kHz)

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.

The manual says the the unit will prevent the impedance presented to your receiver from dropping below 5 ohms, regardless of the number and impedance of speakers connected to it. However, I don't recommend the unit as on the one I got two of the switches would not stay pushed in. I only use it for 2 sets of speakers so it's okay, but two switches are clearly defective. Impedance matching must be turned on for it to perform as stated above. Good luck.

I am not certain that this will drive a sub woofer sufficiently for you needs my use is only with tweeters. There are several review videos out on the net that show woofers being driven but, sound quality is not very well decernable through the video so you need to rely on their opinions.

Hi, There is no frequency block/limit on it's input or output, so it will work the same for bass or electric, and other instruments for that matter.

I am using mine to connect two subwoofers to one sub-out on my receiver and it works perfectly. It should work for you to do that too.

The true frequency of this subwoofer it 27-150 hertz. The 50-150 hertz is the crossover range for the subwoofer if you are using the normal input. However, if your receiver offers an LFE(low frequency effects) then you do not need to adjust that on the sub. The adjustment will be made on the reciever. In addition, I haven't found a movie or music signal that this sub won't pick up on the low end.

Most AVR recievers will have at least one sub output also known as LFE or low frequency effects, as one of the other responses stated, that's all you really need to connect the sub. You will want to learn about configuration of subs and your speakers to make sure that your sub handles only the frequencies it is designed to handle and the same with your other speakers. I have my sub handle everything under 80Hz and let my other speakers handle the rest since I run small speakers for everything besides the base.

It only has outlets for stereo. You could use a second one if the sub has highlevel stereo inputs. It would work fine that way. Most subwoofers have a built in crossover to prevent the high level frequencies from being amplified. My Polk has an adjustable crossover built in to it as well as volume control.

Only if your subwoofer connection from the receiver to the subwoofer is line level type. Easy way to tell is if the connections are RCA (like the ones on this device). If not, I don't recommend you use it for that purpose. Without going into an electronics explanation, simply put, this device may overheat if placed in a connection where the receiver output is of low impedance (resistance). These types of connections are identical to regular speaker connections. So, in short, if the connection to your sub is the same type as the connection as that of your speakers, don't do it.

Mike, I'm currently running this on a small television in a spare bedroom and only using the speakers on the TV. But you piqued my interest, so I unhooked the receiver and brought in downstairs and plugged it into my main system with a 5 speaker surround, and it worked great. The only difference being I am now running upstairs to downstairs through one floor basically directly below the transmitter. (apx 10 feet apart) Based on my experiment, I would say yes it should work for your application.

Big difference between bookshelf speaker and surround speaker! Other answers are quite correct, your other speakers and/or subwoofer should handle the lower frequencies. I like good low bass so I am using two DefTek subwoofers w/500 watt amplifiers driving a 15 inch speaker. I was using a pair of Kenwood surrounds just like these DefTeks w/dual radiating speaker array, but I wanted to get all the bass from those surrounds so I ran the surround speaker wires to these Yamaha YST-SW216BL Subwoofers from Amazon and then to the Kenwoods, wow, pumps out great low frequencies from surround channels in addition to the LFE from the subs.

Yes, it will work with any other speakers as mains. It is best to use your "sub out" on your receiver to send the signal to the subwoofer. The main speakers are unimportant as far as brand name. However, most people choose to use all same brand for their fronts, center, and rear surrounds though because they are voiced similar to eachother (have similar sounding characteristics) Hope that helps you out.

It has 2 higher outputs more for subwoofers and then 4 lower outputs mainly for speakers. So it would work as long as your speakers are rated high enough to handle the watts for the 2 higher outputs.

Should work long as you have a rca jack for output of the subwoofer. Or you could use the pass through speaker set up as well. The speakers for R-L front speaker as a pass through to sub and then out to front speakers. Hope this helps. Chris

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

My understanding is that this unit does not work with a sub. I believe there is a different unit that works with a sub.

First thing, hook your sub woofer up to an output on your receiver that you know has a working audio signal (like CD) so you can make sure it is actually working. A bass speaker carries a huge magnet so any bump to its frame can potentially blow it by shifting that magnet. If it does work, then hook another product that depends on an amplified line level signal to your receivers sub woofer output and make sure that is working. Chances are one of isn't.
