Want to wire this amp to the current L &amp; R speakers of my surround system from . Any chance of damaging my surround system if its turned off

This amp uses line level input which is 1.7Vpp nominal. The same signal that your home stereo CD player would output(as an example. You cannot connect the input of this amp to the speaker terminals of your device. The amp would be damaged from the power level out put of the speaker terminals. If you must use the speaker of your existing system to power this amp you must get a SPEAKER LEVEL-ATTENUATOR/MATCHING device. This will convert the 8ohm speaker impedance to 10K ohms and the provide limiting so that the output would not exceed 2vpp. You can et such devices on Amazon and they are not expensive.

No, you should buy this. You have a mono RCA out on the receiver, I'm assuming. Running a mono RCA cable to either the "L" or "R" will result in you not getting full range of sound from your subwoofer. Connecting the mono cable to this splitter will allow the subwoofer to produce the full range of sound from whatever source ou are using.

I leave mine hooked up to my Bose system, but I keep power switch to the amp off. I have not had any difficulties.

I don't believe it will work as part of a surround sound setup. The input is optical and so I don't believe you can setup the amp to output via the optical port the centre speaker.

The on/off remote power actually comes from the speaker input wires. The amp senses the current from the head unit and uses that current to trigger the "remote on".when you turn off the head unit (stereo) it will sense no current from the speaker wires and shut the amp power down. Do not attempt to run a remote power write to the amp. That will cause the amp to pop when you turn the volume up and also the power will circulate and the stereo and amp will stay on even when the ignition is turned off. Only use a remote write if your using an aftermarket stereo with low frequency RCA Jacks. Good luck. You will love the power this amp has! Great sound and awesome clarity.

Thank you for asking. The powered outputs on this are stable down to 4 ohms. As long as the impedance on your speakers is high enough the amp will be ok. If the speakers are rated to the right power they will be safe as well. Have a great day!

You'll still be able to use the surround outputs, but not the ones bypassed by your amp

Idk if it's the "best", but it worked perfect for my setup. I installed a mono amp, sub and the power Works to turn on and off the amp.

Did you connect your stereo to the FR and FL and not to SR and SL? This worked for me and I still got surround sound via my stereo amp.

i was wondering what quality and hookup of the speaker wire is that this sysytem comes with. can i switch it out for my own of better quality or is it hardwired to the speaker/system? thanks

No its out put is only pre-amp,it cant drive speakers.u need to provide power amp.

All the speakers in my system are hard wired. I have not had good luck with my system and would not buy it again nor recommend it.

I would encourage you to hook up the sub to your receiver first to see if you need the amplifier. Unless you are calling your receiver an amp.The sub gets hooked into your right And left out the the speakers get hooked up to your sub speaker...marked left and right.

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.

As far as I can tell the amp is activated in the software. Only time it wont be amped is if you turn it off or use optical out.

You would have to cut off the two little speaker plugs, strip each of the four wires back half and inch, separately twist the strands for each wire, and plug those wires into the amplifier's speaker connections. There is a picture on the Amazon ad for this amp that shows the back and what the speaker connections look like. This is not complicated but you have to end up with the wires from one speaker going into the amplifier's left two speaker connectors (+, -) and the other speaker wire going into the two right speaker connections (+,- do not matter much in small systems, but if the speaker wires are color-coded then you may as well match with the "+" and "-".).

If it is aftermarket you will need to run a wire from the remote line to your amp.
