This is a two channel or stereo amp. A sub woofer is designed to go with a surround system which has 5 or more channels. Like the other commenter said, your 50 watt speakers can risk damage if you turn the volume up to loud. Also, you could add another pair of similar speakers to balance it out. Each channel on this amp has outputs for 2 speakers, left and right. So you could run 4 speakers at once, 2 for the left channel and 2 for the right channel. 2 speakers rated at 50 watts for each channel should work nicely. This is somewhat like the setup I have. For each channel I have a large floor standing speaker (at least 75 watts) and a smaller speaker to reproduce the treble or higher end of the frequency. This is a two channel or stereo amp.

You will need speaker wire to go to all the speakers. I would suggest that you extend the wire antenna for better reception of radio signals. If you are in a remote area you will need an external antenna system, and finally, you will need the peripheral input devices such as record player, cassette player, CD player and perhaps TV audio inputs...all of these will need cables / wires to be connected to the Receiver amplifier. Good luck. I do not recall what provisions there are for external antennae.

it should sound pretty good. I prefer tower speakers and a sub but it's a good start. I am very satisfied with the receiver.

This is a passive device so you need a surround receiver to hook it to for Left Center and Right. The wireless sub (system) would be connected to the "sub out" line level on the back of that same receiver. You also should have surround speakers.

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!

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.

You do need a receiver. I went with a Sony receiver. They are well priced and are good quality. These speakers not being wireless sort of ages this system now. Might want to keep that in mind. There are good all in one (receiver included) surround systems out there now. Do your homework.

First of all, you do need a amp or receiver, and make sure that the equipment has a turntable jack for it, or you can't use it. Second, you do need a good speakers system. And good speakers wires too.

I used an audio receiver with capable surround sound. Connected tv with digital audio cable. Bought a powered sub-woofer. Great sound. So happy with price vs performance.

Dude, it works well but you should give the speaker a better receiver:Marantz SR5008 7.2-Channel 1080P and 4K Ultra HD Pass Through, Networking Home Theater Receiver with AirPlay (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Whats your front speaker?

The receiver will work with just the two speakers, but does not sound as good without the subwoofer I turned off my subwoofer and put it on 2ch stereo to hear the difference and I would recommend getting the subwoofer if you want the better sound but if you don't want to get one it wiil still work fine. You should also think about getting 2 more speakers to get the whole surround sound with the subwoofer. I hope this helps.

there are different ways to wire it, if your receiver has a sub-out plug on it just get a powered subwoofer cable and plug into either r or l on the woofer. Does not matter which one. hope this helps.

This unit needs to be connected to an amplifier to work and you will need speakers. I don't know if a stereo receiver will work.

You need a subwoofer cable. The receiver should have a Subwoofer out that connects directly to subwoofer with the subwoofer cable. Don't buy a Y adapter or cable.

You need a subwoofer amplifier. Connect the cable out of the receiver to the sub amp, then connect the speaker wires from speaker to the sub amp.

Just connect a 3.5mm to RCA cable to the back of the woofer (receiver) and set the input to analog.
