I would highly reccomend a subwoofer. It adds that extra quality of sound. While my soundbar has subwoofer in it , it doesnt compare to a subwoofer added. Go for it!

You don't have to. I actually used these as my rear surround and the TSi400's for the front and a cs-10 for the center. But I'm sure 4 of these and a sub would sound excellent. If you want the full "5.1" you'll need a center speaker. 5.1 = 5 (speakers) .1 (subwoofer) roughly

I don't know. If you have the subwoofer and 2 individual speakers that connect to the sub, than yes it will work .

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

It should be. You'll just have to get a second sub if you want 5.2 surround sound. 5.1 surround works fine for most. My sub finally gave out after five years...

Dear Bill, Thanks so much for the advice. I set the speaker for speaker pattern 3/2.1 which I assume means three in the front, two in the back and subwoofer.. and produces 5.1 sound. Anyhow, sounds good to me and the RCA cable works fine. Had the Protector message come up and shut down the tuner a few times... I eventually figured out the the dangling speakers wires going from my A and C speakers that I had disconnected from subwoofer were causing the problem... Disconnected them from the speakers also and normalcy returned.. Again Thanks.....John

Yea...All the speakers will work normally. I use this just for the amp connected to the subs only.

Personally I reccomend purchasing the 2 play 1 speakers, then the subwoofer. I hope this helps

Depends on the watts of your subwoofer. If it's less than 200w, it should work perfectly

Hi Diego!!,,thanks for the question,,,im gonna save you some money here....the answer,,,is yes,,,,it will work,,,but my advice to you is,,,DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!!!!,,it is not compatible with any other component,,,you cant change speakers,,,you cant use any other wireing ,,,,it is very cheaply made,,,and this company,,Phillips,,should be ashamed of selling this junk,,,,my advice to you is,,,buy a stereo reciever for your TV even the cheapest one you find here is better than this unit,,,i bought this system with the intention of using my home speakers i already have ,,,with this unit,,it is not possible bcuz,,,thewireing is fixed,,,,to the speakers,,(they cannot be switched),,the sub woofer is a joke,,its just junk,,,it does look ok,,and it will work,,but ,,its just noit worth it ,,and i regret wasting money on this unit!!!

I use only the speakers that came with the unit. It you want to add a subwoofer it calls for a "Powered subwoofer."

Dear Jimbo,Thank you for your inquiry. You can connect a non-powered subwoofer, but it will not give you a true. 5.1 or 7.1 sound because the bass channel goes out of the pre amp subwoofer out. A non-powered subwoofer would have to serve as the midway point of your wiring your front speakers, meaning speakerwire out of hte receiver to the subwoofer, and then subwoofer out to the front speakers. The reason for 2 subwoofer outputs is many recommend two subwoofers in a surround system to give you a fuller bass response. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo Dear Jimbo,Thank you for your inquiry.

We have a sub woofer so I cannot say how it will sound without one. I can say the sound is great with the subwooferP.S. I just installed a new Bose Lifestyle V325 System that came with a new center channel speaker so I will be posting it for sale on Amazon soon.

Yes - I've subbed a slightly smaller and less obvious sub woofer. Had to do some surgery on the original wires but ... everything works great.

Information on the z2300 says the subwoofer acts as the amplifier, these speakers are hooked up "bare wire", so the wires from the sub can be made to work. They will work, but the only way to know if they work well is to listen. My guess is they will be okay. ron
