Do I need a separate 4-channel amp for this receiver?

It "has" an internal amp, so technically no, but if you are going to run speakers other than "stock", you probably will want an amp.

Yes, I would suggest an amp. I bought a 5 channel amp with a sub out since this reciever has 5 channels out. It works great with Rockford Fosgate subs. Nice tuning abilities when you use an amp too.

You need a separate amplifier for these speakers. I bought the CV -900. You should know that running these type of speakers without a separate amplifier can damage your receiver. You should also know the CV-900 amp will require a special connector. I would suggest checking with your local music store.

I would invest in an AMP for sure, short money but will get more out of the unit. I purchased the Polk 4 channel and it is worth the short money it cost

Think of this unit as 5 individual power amps to do as you please. Use "Y" input connectors to create 2 sets of 2 speaker outputs. Add an external equalizer if you need further adjustments. What you'll want to do with the 5th channel is anyone's guess. I hope this helps.

No, you would need a separate amplifier. Your other option is to return the Control 1 speakers and get the C2PS Control 2P speakers instead.

You can run another amp. I have, but I wasn't impressed with using this amp as a pre amp with a Parasound HCA1500. I think what you are referring to though is the ability to use your surround receiver or whatever receiver or pre amp and use this as an amp. Either way your covered.

I use this for one signal coming from my receiver that gets spilt and goes to 2 different subwoofer amps. Hope that helps

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

This is a 1 channel amplifier so I'd look more towards a 4 or 5 channel depending on if you wanna hook a subwoofer with them to

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

No. This is a two channel receiver. If you have 4-channel output you could send 2 channels to one receiver and 2 channels to a second identical receiver. Volume would need to be adjusted on both receivers. This should work well and the price would still be relatively reasonable. I use to be into 4 channel sound. Can not believe some of the misdirected answers you have received.

I use mine for the subwoofer so it is between the receiver and the sub amp - no problem. If you want to use it on an amplified channel then you will need a receiver that has a processor loop.

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

No, you need a separate 5.1 Channel amplifier. This is not a "Home Theater in a Box". You need something like "Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver" - which will provide enough power to the speakers (as mentioned for this model, 10-120W / channel). Hope this helps.

You can use this receiver as a preamp for 11 channels. You can only power 9. If you want to power 11, you must purchase an additional 2 channel power amp. You can assign the 9 channels to whatever you want. I use heights, wides, surrounds but no rears. Hope this helps.

You can just hook them up to your existing wires and existing receiver. They don't have to have a external amp

I would just run the 4 channels to 4 speakers. Then use the rca jack to the amp to run just the subwoofer.
