does this system require a powered sub-woofer?

I don't think the Sherwood requires a powered sub. I have four full-range speakers on my surround setup plus two outdoor speakers but no sub-woofer. Even without a sub I still get very solid bass sound.

The system can accommodate a sub woofer but it is not required in order to capture great sound. If you can hook up the Front, Rear and Center Speaker and set your system up for Surround sound. It makes a big difference than simply setting up Left & Right Stereo sound.

The speaker outputs on the rear of this unit are typical for left channel , right channel, sub speakers. I tested this receiver so please read my review as I don't recommend it for it lack of power and sound quality. It does not compare to a Pioneer receiver. To buy the Sherwood only for the HD channels is not worth it because at most you will get 3 HD radio stations in your area.

No it doesn't, but it has the capacity, and more ... I run 4 pioneer speakers.

It can support it, but it does not require it. I am just driving a normal set of stereo speakers with it. It has many different options to choose from depending on how your speakers are outfitted.

Do not need thick wire for high power connection as it has its own powered sub woofer.

I swapped out the speakers for more powerfull outdoor speakers. The sub woofer has to be connected, power goes thru it if i remember correctly. Hope this helps.

You can easily add a subwoofer to a system. There is a dedicated subwoofer out port.

No subwoofer and speakers are wired.But a separate wireless system and use it with for the rear speakers

You will need a receiver that will power the speakers. Also an RCA cable for the Subwoofer input.

You will need to purchase a cable seperately. It did not come with a subwoofer cable.

I don't think you can. I did hook up a non-powered subwoofer with an old amp but was never really happy with the sound. This Onkyo receiver has very poor bass response in my opinion. Sorry I am no help.

Hi CritiKiL, you needed a "powered" subwoofer. to have an amplification. -Ely

Yes. Besides that, the codes connecting sound bar to the main box are white, not black. Sub woofer does not need wiring.

No it doesn't. You will need an external crossover. But woofer sounds great once you hook it up properly.

No. The sub woofer is wireless & connects to the main unit seamlessly via Bluetooth when the unit turns in.

You will need an amp unless you are getting a powered subwoofer which comes with a built in amp

You need a receiver. The subwoofer is passive so it does not require an amp. I returned mine however as the sound was poor

You need a powered subwoofer. There is a pre-out (low power signal) on the receiver that connects via an RCA cable to the input of your powered sub. You can confirm this on the images on the Amazon listing.

You need a powered sub. I got a Polk audio sub off amazon too and it sounds great.
