My receiver has 4 RCA outputs. Can I run the 4 RCA outputs into this amp and run 4 coaxial speakers plus a subwoofer?

Yes you can. There is a switch on the amp and it will take the sound from channels 3 and 4, and use it for the subwoofer.. so you dont need a 5th rca cable.

i have this receiver and love it. I power 3 zones with it. All you need is speakers for zone 2 and 3. No additional amplifiers needed as all 3 zones are powered by the receiver itself. if you run 2 sets of speakers per zone, make sure your speakers have an impedance matching the receivers impedance. Do your research about how to connect them to not generate the wrong impedance. Connect speakers in series: add up impedance and you are on the safe side. If your wiring does not allow to connect them in series, make sure each of the 2 speakers you connect in parallel have double the impedance than the minimum impedance your receiver can support. Example: minimum impedance 8Ohms means you could either run 2 speakers each 4 ohms or higher in series (totals to 8 Ohms or higher) OR 2 speakers 16 ohms or higher in parallel (totals 8 ohms or higher).

It may...by connecting them paralleled to the amp, and installing a passive filter on the output to the 12" sub. The problem with that wiring scenario and 4 ohm speakers is that you will force the amp to run at a lower ohm load than it is supposed to accept. I would not recommend this because even if it worked, it would overheat. Throw a separate bridged mono amp with a capacitor on the sub instead...hope that helps and good luck with it.

This subwoofer does not accept any RCA cables, just XLR and 1/4. If you got a good quality RCA to XLR converter/cable, then you should be able to use it with a home receiver.

Yes, outputs for six (6) RCA cables (all you listed + subwoofer) to carry analog 5.1 sound. Not sure why they don't post a picture of the back of this item, as these specific outputs were one of the reasons we bought it. It works great with our old receiver.

This receiver has pre out subwoofer connection .two Rca inputs can play two subwoofers

"no" you only have to use the positive red input , in the back of your subwoofer . so if you have a double white & red rca cable ? just use positive output ( red ) out from receiver to red input on subb.!! red to red !! one cable is all you need !!

Not if that works or not. I simply bought a rca cable "Y" cable and ran from subwoofer out on the receiver to the two inputs. These cables can be bought for less than $10.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.

Yes, you can connect up to 1 subwoofer to this receiver. Keep in mind that it must be a powered subwoofer with an RCA style plug. "Subwoofers," or bass speakers, that use speaker wire will NOT connect to this receiver.

You will need a receiver that will power the speakers. Also an RCA cable for the Subwoofer input.

If you use the L + R input on the back of the sub the unit will sum the input and create a mono signal for the amp. The sub out on the receiver is a mono signal already all you need is one RCA cable to connect to the sub. On most powered subs the one connection would be to the R input, but double check with the subs instruction info. The signal coming out of both sub outputs is mono. The second output is for hooking up second sub.

Yes...but you may need a set of splitters or RCA y cables as I don't recall if this unit has 3 sets of outputs. Otherwise, your 4 channel amp may have an output you can use, or use 1 set of outputs for 4 channel power, but you will lose ability to fade front to back.

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

This is not an amp. It takes an output to speakers and can run different sets of speakers. If you do not have enough power in your receiver to run the speakers it will not work. Each time you turn on a set of speakers it will drop the power by a percentage. Some receivers can not handle more then three sets.

Technically you could get a 2 channel amp to run a pair of speakers and subwoofers. However, I don't believe this is the best way as you have no control of the speaker or sub volume level if their sensitivities aren't a match, which likely they won't be. As Troy mentioned, you'd have to use a passive crossover (around 80 Hz or so) to route the upper signals to the speakers and lower signals to the subwoofers. My recommendation would be to get two amps or buy the Inuke NU4-6000, which has 4 channels and would work perfectly for your equipment.

if your receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer outlet then you will need a special wire. it's RCA to speaker wire, and it's kinda pricey for a wire. you would have to tie into the left and right speakers, or maybe even all sides of the surround. the quality might be diminished since it's trying to push all the frequencies through the speaker, and not just the lower bass frequencies. heres a link to the wire you would need.
