Do I use these in addition to sub-woofers? I already have a 7:2 theatre. Where to would four of these connect? I have the Denon AVR-3313CI Receiver.

They are designed (poorly might I add) to be felt not heard, so yes a sub is required. I would have to say that you may need 8-10 of these to work and even then you will not be happy with their performance. Ideally you would mount it directly to the bottom of the sofa on a flat surface. A separate sub amp will need to be purchased to run the four Shakers, don't exceed the 50 watt limit of each shaker and may need to hook them in series and in parallel so as not to exceed the ohm limits of the amp. All this work and you will undoubtably be unhappy with the time and money spent. Buy a cheap 12" powered sub, gut it and mount that under your sofa, thats what I did; that will really shake your sofa.

Split the signal from one of your 7.2 sub (LFE) channels with a standard RCA Y-harness and send the LFE signal into a dedicated amp for the Aura Shakers. I have four wired in series-parallel configuration for a 4 Ohm load. They are powered by a BASH 300w plate amp. My Klipsch subwoofer handles sound and the Auras provide impact. My wife thought I was crazy when I added these to the couches but after she got used to using them for the past year she has commented that action movies seem less exciting with them turned off. I don't understand Scott H's problem. If he's so sure that they're poorly designed you'd expect to see him selling a better product.

Yes.Use them in addition to your subs.You will need a separate amp.They are rated for 50 rms.I wouldn't go pass that.Connect them using your sub out on your receiver.

Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have. From what I've read you cannot connect this model to a sub woofer.The connection is done through the tv . If you should have a home surround sound and your two front speakers and the center are no longer working . You would be much better off with finding 2 front speakers and a center again. I don't think this bar can substitute for your needs. I am not by any means a tech guru. I do know some stuff by educating myself with the comment of others on consumer sites. I hope this helps by Bernard Dear Linda, as far as I know this cannot be connected as part of a surround sound set up, you or someone else may have.

The sub-woofer is wired separately, as are all the other components. Therefore, you can utilize all of the other speakers in the system to the extend your receiver has connections. The sub-woofer sound, though, when connected, is really rich in that nice bass. Hope this helps!

Jan, To error on the side of safety, I would hesitate to drop below the rated impedence of your receiver. You might over heat the Yamaha especially at higher volumes.I am running the ns-310 center with two ns-210's for left and right on a 7.1 system. The rest of my speakers ARE 8 ohms, BUT my av receiver (Denon 1912) is rated at 6 to 16 ohms.The center speaker you are considering, has an exceptionally clear, crisp sound.Hope this helps, Rick

I use them for my surround speakers so i purchased 2. I would think you would need 2.

Don't know of any reason why they would not work. You will still be a couple of speakers short if you a filling out the 7 maximum, plus the woofer. I satisfied with mine for a few months now.

Hello Joseph M and thank you for your inquiry. The Denon AVR-X3000 does have TWO subwoofer preamp outputs allowing for the support of dual subwoofers. I hope this answer helps but please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp.com sales team

to the sub? I don't understand, i connect the speakers and the subuffer to my reciver, you can connect all to home theater too

I agree with Peter. I don't have this receiver (yet), but I have the Acoustimass 7 series, and whenever I set up a component (BD player, DVD-Audio player, etc), I set it up as if I have large speakers, but NOT a subwoofer. I'm assuming that the Acoustimass 10 (like the 7) does NOT connect to the subwoofer connections on the back of the receiver. So if you're running this Audyssey test as if you have a subwoofer, it's trying to test something that's not there.

I have not hooked it up yet. On my receiver though I have separate sub woofer outputs. Put if you do hook it up in parallel it would be 4 ohms. Most systems are ok at 4 ohms.

From my understanding this is for bi-amping. I own a set of them though and they come with a bracket that bridges the posts so that you can use them normally. Basically if you intend to use these with any normal surround setup you should just leave them the way they come with that bracket and they sound absolutely amazing.

Yes, you can even configure this for just 2 speakers, with or without a subwoofer. However, the Onkyos are plagued with problems. Check out the Yamaha, more expensive but more versatile and reliable.

The previous answers are good. Page 32 of the manual gives a picture of the connections on the back of the receiver. I have a B&W; subwoofer connected without problems.Eric S

I actually contacted Onkyo about a similar thing. I want to run a 7.1.2 and use an amp with the RCA line out jacks. All I need to do is get an amp to power from the RCA jacks and I'm good to go. You should be able to run it with a rear pair and 4 atmos speakers, but something would have to be doubled up on the actually timing with the Dolby computing. It won't be a true 7.1.4...but you can run a true 7.1.2 with this system and an amp to power the additional speakers.

I have a Denon AVR X3000.These are power hogs, but excellent, all the bass youhave ever wanted. If you are running a lowerpowered amp, best talk with Cerwin Vega, as their documentation is sketchy beyond peak handling of 400 watts.

Do yourself a favor and read the manufacturer product description posted on Amazon.com. I have these speakers connected to a 5.1 channel A/V receiver for a small room. These speakers are small and not very powerful sound-wise. I purchased a separate sub-woofer to up the bass. As the other customers have answered you still need more speakers specially for a 7.1 channel A/V receiver.

Absolutely yes! I did the same thing with my output of my theater receiver and the bass sounds much better running 2 subs. This particular splitter is great quality and very durable.
