How would I hook up a powered subwoofer with 2 bookshelf Klipsch 15 speakers using this amp?

If I understand the question correctly you will want to split the input to this amp. Have one part go to your sub and have the other go to this amplifier which will power your bookshelf speakers.

You can't. It only has two (right and left) outputs. Nor would it have the power to drive a 2.1 system.

If you want a 2.1 setup, the best answer is to buy another amp with either line level out or a subwoofer line out. For a solution though, you could run the speakers in a series (google how) and buy a subwoofer with speaker level inputs (though I don't recommend this). However, if you've bought this amp and want more bass just buy a set of speakers with decent woofers that are easily powered (good 2.0 sounds better than 2.1). I had this running a set of Large Advents and it sounded beautifully.

You'll need to split the input to this amp, and send it to the woofer. The "Belkin Speaker and Headphone Splitter" is only $2.70 (add on item) but it will work. You'll also need a headphone-to-RCA adapter as well. I suggest "BlueRigger 3.5mm to RCA (2) Stereo Audio Cable (8 Feet, White)" for $7.99

The answer is yes.You can connect both: powered and non powered subwoofers.

I have since sold the unit. I used 2 powered Sub Woofers and connected them to the Sub Woofer Out on the back of the unit.

You haven't provided all the necessary information to receive a worthy answer. We understand you want to power a pair of dual 15" speakers at 8 Ohms, but that's all we know. Complete your research by finding out the power handling ability and capacity of the speakers. Then, look again at the outputs that the amp is capable of. Your answer is then looking right back at you.I assure you this: Relying upon a bunch of people you do not know for answers to questions like this is going to come at a cost. You have no idea that they know anything about which they speak.

Connect the preamp to the power amp with RCAs or XLRs and connect your speakers to the power amp with bananas or wire

it woudldent work becasue your subwoofer needs power (an amplified signal) and the power is carried through speaker wire, if you use this "adapter" the male lfe terminal is getting a un-amplified signal (signal with no power)

This is a bit like asking "how do you cook?" There us no one best way to hook up a sub... you need to divide the frequency of the signal into the frequency range your speaker responds to. There are many ways to do this... a crossover network can split the input (your music) into "sub" and "everything else" before the amplifiers and use separate amps for the subs and everything else... but thus is only one solution. Tell us what equipment you are trying to use and perhaps you will get a more useful response.

Cut the plug in off and wire it up to one of your speakers... No amp needed

Your subwoofer out probably needs to go out to the amp. At the subwoofer out from the amp, is where you can split the signal and send it to both subs. That's what I would do.

This receiver does use a powered subwoofer. If you hook a non-powered speaker to this outlet, you could very well blow your sub-woofer. I wouldn't take the chance.

I have a V675 and I'm running 3 subs (2 are Polk and 1 is a Klipsch). 2 are with my basement home theater (Zone 1) and are hooked up to the 2 sub\pre-amp outputs on back of amp. The 3rd is hooked up to my upstairs living rooms speakers (Zone 2) using speaker wires from amp into sub and speaker wires out from sub to speakers.

Think of this unit as 5 individual power amps to do as you please. Use "Y" input connectors to create 2 sets of 2 speaker outputs. Add an external equalizer if you need further adjustments. What you'll want to do with the 5th channel is anyone's guess. I hope this helps.

Yes, although the sub may be under powered it will work if necessary. Not recommended, though. It's good practice to have the amp be able to provide adequate power to the speaker(s).

You need an amplifier. There are no head units that im aware of that will properly power a sub.

This amp should power them just fine. It just wouldn't be to the speakers' full potential. I believe this amp is only rated at 1300 watts rms which would be a little shy of the 1600 combined that the subs would use To reach that full potential. Of course if you don't want to risk blowing out your subs, being just shy of the speakers rms rating would be ideal.

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.
