I have a pair of Niles OS6.5 8 ohm speakers and one of these subs adjacent to the left speaker. Can i add another sub adjacent to the right speaker?

Simon Your setup should work the only problem I see is that the speakers you have may not get enough power but they should sound good, when I setup this speaker it was a pain trying to understand what type of series should they be installed in, but the polk audio has 4 leads red, black green, and white please follow the instructions very carefully and try only one speaker at a time. When this unit is connect correctly it sounds great.

Without an active crossover your probably will find another sub to make the sound muddy.

it is a 5 Channel amp. 4 regular speakers and sub. I have 4 6" component speakers and 1 10" sub. I can't see why you could not do this but it is probably not suggested.

No they can't without re-wiring them. On the back of the box there is just one spot for connecting to the subs. Yes that is correct. They are two 8 ohm subs wired in parrallel to achieve the 4 ohms.

Your amplifier needs to output the two additional rear channels, over 5.1. In addition, you need two more speakers for the rear. Thus your speakers are: center, front left and right, side left and right, rear left and right, and the subwoofer.

I know that you can add at least 1 more of the same speaker, it also gives you a left and a right option for the speakers so that you could have one for the right channel and one for the left. I just have one and use it as a mono. One thing I will say is that i no longer use my speaker wireless. It was giving me wifi sensitivity (headaches/cloudy head) I know just use it as a portable speaker via 1/8 inch adapter and have hard wired my house where I used to use it wireless.

Yes you could add two sub's. One was good enough for me. Under the seats would be good, just make sure you aren't going to rattle any metal close to the install area.

The sound may be uneven with one speaker positioned differently, but I see no reason why both couldn't be on their side. Frankly, it might not even matter. When using them the sound is very uniform when they are spread with the listener in the center. Great, crisp speakers unless you want booming bass.

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

Yes you can. You will want to bridge the sub, so connect the 2 6.5s to the front right and left, then connect the sub to the right rear positive and the negative to the left rear negative.

As long as you are able to run a signal to the sub from one of the other speakers. This can be done by simply splitting the audio cable going to any main speaker - subwoofer will only require mono input for proper functioning so both red/white rca cable not needed. I do this for my system and works with no issues.

You should have no issues with hooking up your 6 ohm speakers. We have multiple speakers set up in ourhouse and in my shop. I have two of these units and they work great.

Steve...I didn't see any place to connect a separate sub woofer but gosh, I'm not sure you'd need one with the sound this thing puts out !

They should come specifically one for left and one for right. If you receive 2 left speakers, for example, both subwoofers will fire in the same direction. Typically, you want the subwoofers each facing the outside of the room.

The only way this might work is to run the line to the passive sub into one of the speaker level inputs. Do not run the other speakers through the sub; the bass is already routed to the passive sub in your system.

Shouldn't matter as long as your stereo system is pushing 8 ohms output. The only thing you might notice is different sets of speakers might have different volume levels when playing them together.

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.
