This sub will be for music only in a large room. I plan to use Boston speakers for the R/L. Will the "auto on " feature work with "speaker level" input?

Yes, the auto on works with speaker level input. I have the same sub, ordered a while back and am very pleased with its performance.

I bought this sub for use in a home theater system and it works very well in this set up. The low end responce gives me the feel of the being in the theater. The " auto feature " works as such when switched to " auto " the built in amp stays on as long as the signal is being fed to the sub from the reciver. 15 to 20 mins. after you stop playing music or video the amp goes into standby mode. once you start playing music or video the amp will automatically turn on.

yes this sub has three options auto, switched, or wired through the sub utilizing its crossover.

It will work but this is not the best Sub for music. I love this Sub but I will say that as for music it is not the best out there but it will shake the place if you want it to (the bumps from the sub are the part where it is not as good as others but more continuous low note this thing rocks them out expecially in the 40 hz range which is where this sub is at its best but it will play way lower).

The "auto on" feature should work even if speaker wire is used to connect the sub to the receiver. I used a sub coaxial cable to connect the receiver to the sub and the receiver outputs for front speakers. This is the preferred method. However, if the sub out via coaxial cable is not available from the receiver, the front speakers need to be connected through the sub. There are speaker inputs on the sub to be connected from the receiver and "out to speakers" connections on the sub for the front speakers.

Yes it will work, and if your bostons are floor speakers this should be ok, if you are using small book shelfs I would look at a non ported sub. But if you are someone that just likes to play it loud this will work, this sub works much better in a home theater setup. For 2 channel set up I would keep looking

Yes, you should be able to do it for most part depending on your amp. However there are no separate volume controls for this device. So what ever volume you have on your amp will reflect for all speakers (home theater and auxillary speakers in the kitchen). The device works as advertised and I have my main speakers in my family room and 4 sets of speakers in the master bed, master bath, patio and living room. The main speakers are on "A" and the rest on "B" on my Yamaha amp, so I can listen to all of the speakers or switch on/off A or B. However I cannot adjust the volume for the B speakers since the Monster SS4 doesnt have volume controls. Hope this helps Yes, you should be able to do it for most part depending on your amp.

There are several models of Klipsch floor standing speakers with different efficiencies, and I don't know how loud you're wanting to play them or how big a space you want to fill. This isn't a particularly powerful amplifier. But yes, it will power your speakers at "normal" listening levels. Whether it will provide the volume you want in your room, I couldn't say. If I had Klipsch speakers, I'd go higher-fi, personally.

The sub being used would need to have RCA inputs(how mine us currently setup). I guess you could rig up a splitter off of one of the speaker inputs. Or if your sub has input/output for speaker wire you could do that too.

This is not a powered subwoofer, as is the norm for most indoor systems. It's a passive subwoofer, so a LF-out from a traditional amp will not work. It works best with a two-channel amplified (not line-level) output from an amplifier. I use a Russound SDB 4.1 speaker selector with my stereo amplifier to control overall volume and balance two pairs of satellites plus the sub on my patio. The Russound unit costs as much as a separate two channel amp, but has the aforementioned advantages--plus it controls the volume level of my main pair of speakers in my living room.

It should work fine. I have 10 speakers connected to it with no sub yet and it's loud and clear.

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

the speaker only has only one set of inputs. I feel it would run on L or R channel but it is designed to operate on center channel. example - using dolby surround the center channel is where most of the dialogue (conversation) comes from. either way I have been very pleased with this speaker... sound and quality. great product for the money. let me know if I can help further

This is for 2 channels only. The main or front speakers are in most cases the predominant source of sound. This unit could be used to control that line level input.

The Sub has a 450w max and 200w rms. You may have trouble with your sattalites. The sub has a really nice response. Takes alittle time to break in. also depends on where you put it, needs some room to breath...But you should be fine. Nice sounding..

Unfortunately, the unit I got didn't allow separate control of subwoofer volume, and it's pretty strong. The speakers on the bar are the best speakers I've ever owned, and the sub volume hasn't been too much of a problem. I unplug it when I'm using the bar when someone is asleep upstairs.

I haven't used my speaker much, so don't know how to answer the question. I assume it does play automatically.
2077467
Yes. Use input 2 (for some reason this is the primary input, and input 1 is secondary). Then, there is a switch on the back of the amp, slide it to manual (the auto setting allows the amp to turn off if it hears no significant input for about 5 seconds.) This auto/manual switch only effects input 2, input 1 will always do the turn on and off thing based upon what it is hearing for input). The instructions explain this but, its not very clear.

Bill, I doubt anything "went wrong", but the Yamaha may not deal with potential impedance differences between your main speakers and your sub. Luckily, Yamaha allows you to set up levels for each set of speakers (front, center, back, sub) from within the setup menus. Using the remote, do the following:setup -> speaker -> level -> scroll down to "sub" and raise the level (default is flat (0db)) until you like how it sounds. hope this helps,gfd

Worked fine for me with bass control knob for 208. I have similar set up in an SUV and was worried 300 watts would under power subs but they sound great to me. Would 500 watts to the sub sound better? Technically perhaps they would but I am picky about sound and am happy with 300 watts which according to my research is within the preferred range of power. Plenty of power for moderate listening levels. If you are into rap and need to boom or listen at very high volume then perhaps not.

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 use a set of speakers on only "A", only "B", or both A&B at the same time. Works very well.
