will this allow for subwoofer hookup? powered or unpowered? how to do?

If you have/buy a powered subwoofer that allows speaker level inputs it will work just fine.

yes you can hook up a subwoofer if the subwoofer is a powered subwoofer meaning the subwoofer has its own amp attached to the back of it.

We have 4 speakers hooked up to ours and am not sure if it would allow a sub woofer

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

run an unpowered signal (Main output/ Aux output, etc) via 1/4" plug or 3-pin balanced "Mic" cable. 1/4 plugs into middle of 3-pin input. DO NOT run a powered signal into unit! It will split low end to main sub speaker, then send rest of signal to onboard power amps (2 passive spkrs can be plugged into unit and used as mains for small room or to power monitors- pretty neat setup, although only 150watts, used correctly the sub can be a self contained power setup.).

Couple ways to answer this question. 1) you're already running through the amp/mixer - why use a powered subwoofer? You can run a subwoofer from the main unit at the appropriate frequency 2) if you insist on using a powered sub, then I would do what the others stated below, monitor output

Hello. No, you will need an external amplifier to properly power a subwoofer.

Wire your speakers normal. But drop the resistance on the sub. It should push it no problem

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

You will need to install an amplifier to power the sub woofer. Once you install the amplifier you will need to run an RCA from the sub woofer output to the amplifier.

Hi J. Johnson, this is a self powered subwoofer and this unit may best be connected on an amplifier or receiver. Soundbar doesn't support on this. - Ella

I wish it had a switched outlet too. My subwoofers have the auto powerdown function, and have worked fine that way for years. If you are electrically proficient, you might be able to do something using the 12V Trigger output.

Can you be more specific on how to hook up a subwoofer{with "speaker level outputs"} to the Onkyo?

The sub is powered. I have it connected with a single 3.5mm jack but as others have said, RCA is also possible.

No! Don't plug your Subwoofer into the outlet!! It doesn't have a preamp like other subwoofers. There are 2 pairs of wires: right channel [green (+) and white (-)] and left channel [red (+) and black (-)]. Just attached them to your receiver like you would any speaker. Good luck!

YOu can hook it up several ways. 1) Pass your amp's speaker outputs through. 2) Subwoofer connection from your amplifier. 3) Through a pre-out from you amp. #2 is the recommended way. Since it has it's own, built-in amp, it really makes little difference about what kind of receiver/amplifier you have, especially if it has a sub-woofer output, which all news amps will. This thing is POWERFUL. I cannot turn it up all the way in my gameroom (20 ft by 15ft) without hurting my ears. It will fill a gymnasium. A 4-car garage, no problem. A helicopter in the movie and you will beleive it's flying right over your house. Ask anymore questions you like. John O.

Read the directions that come with the subwoofer . Should tell you all the ways to hook it up there

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