Hello, you can't disconnect it but there is a dial to turn the sub intensity up or down. It is located on the speaker so it's convenient.

Yes,all you have to do is turn your base control knob,located on your right speaker to minimum.

You can't take the subwoofer out of the array, but it has a separate volume knob so that you can turn the bass pretty much all the way down. How much do you REALLY like your downstairs neighbors, though...?

Yes you can. On the speaker there is a dial to adjust the amount of bass the subwoofer output. You can just turn that down to zero or low enough so the sub isn't pumping out room shattering bass. Sound quality does take a small dive, but not by much. Hope that helps.

They do not have any mounting hardware or holes, so without some serious MacGuyver action, the answer is no. Side note - you really don't want Subwoofers off the ground anyways - low freq sound waves propagate much better along the ground, and Subwoofers are designed to exploit this.

I believe you can -- there are two extra speaker terminals on the back -- but I would want to use a self-powered sub-woofer. I have misplaced my instruction booklet but you can get this information online at the Yamaha website.

I mean you can but you don't want to under powering is more damaging to the sub woofer then anything you always need to keep it at its set standerds or they will slowly fall apart

No. Just plug them into the sub and thats it. I am very pleased with this product, and recomend it highly.

A subwoofer's wattage would be delivered to the speaker, not the receiver. This is a moot question.

Sorry but am not using a subwoofer. You may want to call sony support. they are very helpful.

Nowhere in the article that you reference does it say that Polk recommends not using the subwoofer port. As a matter of fact, based on the article, the opposite appears to be preferred.

No, these units have very nice bass response. You could add a subwoofer if you like floor shaking bass, otherwisethe speakers sound very balanced with a good low end.

This speaker system is an excellent buy for the price and it would definitely solve you problem. The sub has it's own amp for power and has output for (i think) 2 speakers but I did not use this because I had receiver. I would recommend using the speakers with a receiver for best results.

I do not have a separate sub woofer. I have a Samsung sound bar which contains all the speakers including the sub woofer. My sound bar sits in front of the TV on the cabinet because I do not want to mount it on the wall behind and above the TV.

You can if your subwoofer has "speaker level" inputs. Many subwoofers do, just check the specifications.

A bigger concern for me is that you need to treat the receiver like a subwoofer: you certainly don't want it in a component cabinet with all your other gear.

No need for a subwoofer. I run mine through a sony receiver and I get good sound.

You can use your own..I did anyways. Just so you know I only had my subwoofer for 2 days. Its been months now and its not fixed. The sub is really crappy. It broke twice. I just bought a energy sub and the system now rocks. Just thought you would like to know.
