can I use the built in amp to drive one set of speakers and use the pre-amp output to another amp for more speakers?

I think you will find you can connect up more than one set of speakers anyway on the same amp ie speakers 1 and 2 you can lay speakers in another room to play from that amplifier just switch over on the remote control

The pre amp output also has pre amp input, so the signal goes out but has to come back into the amp. Its good for effects or even equalization. But it does have speaker output 1

From the owners manual: "The HK 3390 may be used with up to two pairs of speakers. ... Select each pair of speakers by pressing its associated button on either the front panel or remote."

No its out put is only pre-amp,it cant drive speakers.u need to provide power amp.

I would suggest NOT. This device is used only for multiple speaker distribution from one amplified source. I am not an "ee", but the reverse logic (4 sources to one speaker source) may appear to work, but you may cause harm to the other sources depending on how the sources were designed. I am not certain why you would want four receivers input to the same system, unless you are operating a store. You should consult a local expert if you are certain you want to do this.

Yes... the reason one uses a unit such as this is so that the amp stays happy with all possible combinations of speakers... if you were to use just on-off switches for the controls, you would have a huge impedance mismatch once you had more than 3-4 speakers on... you still be will be limited by the size of your amp and the power needed for each speaker... if you are using this set up for mainly back ground music ... with volumes under "having to yell at each other" ... any reasonable amp will work...

you need a two way cross over. or two audio out puts. one output for the amp and speakers and one output for the subwoofer. you might be able to use the output on the subwoofer to go to the amp for the speakers

This is not an amp. It takes an output to speakers and can run different sets of speakers. If you do not have enough power in your receiver to run the speakers it will not work. Each time you turn on a set of speakers it will drop the power by a percentage. Some receivers can not handle more then three sets.

In short, I would say no. If you feel like removing all USB functionality - then technically yes. (cut the speaker lines and place into the amp outs). I suspect the low output over your current system is a combo of low power from the USB powered amp (it's technically only capable of 2.5w output) - and cheap speakers. So If I'm going to be truthfully honest - by another powered speaker PC set. For utilizing this amp you'd want to purchase new speakers as well.

Use the rca line out jacks to run into an amplifier that can drive bigger speakers

Yes you can. That's exactly what I did with mine. Spliced the speakers wire from all 3 speaker terminals together & connected them to my center channel input on my amp. Great center channel speaker!

I assume that you know that the amp has four speaker outputs. What you want to know is how many speakers you can connect to one output. I wouldn't recommend to connect more than one speaker to one output. Speakers are no light bulbs.

You could use one amplifier per speaker, but it won't be any better than plugging both speakers into one amplifier - it's 15 watts per channel, not 30 watts wherever, so leaving one side disconnected doesn't gain you anything on the other side. You also can't connect them together. That really shouldn't matter much, though. You don't actually have to run 30 watt speakers from a 30 watt amplifier - I've had this little amp hooked up to a pair of 100-watt speakers and it was just fine. You can't run the speakers to their maximum volume, but they run just fine at normal volumes. Remember, noise and power aren't linear, so 15 watts isn't half as loud as 30 watts. In fact, a mere 3 watts is half as loud as 30! 15 watts is enough to get your speakers fairly loud.

You need to purchase a separate amp for your 6" speakers. I have two small amps driving 6 speakers, & the sub has its own internal amp. Even if you could use the amp to power additional speakers. You wouldn't want to do that.

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

No that will not work. You will only be powering each channel with 25 watts each. Better off buying 1 2 channel amplifier for your subs and this one for your speakers.

This should be fine, however, I see no reason why you couldn't add another amp. It would just be a waste of money considering the amp in these is pretty good already.

Not sure it has the power to drive more speakers than just a single pair. If you are asking whether it could be used as an amp to drive a remote pair of speakers for some other system, that would work, although this is not the most high fidelity amp you are ever going to hear. It is decent as a computer amp, but it does not have really high fidelity unfortunately. I retired it to iPod duty...

Are you going to run two speakers off of one channel or do you have a four channel amp?What type of amp do you have?
