Can I use the line out to connect a subwoofer amp and still use the other speaker connections from this unit?

Short answer is yes. The signal goes out of both the high and low outputs together. I tried it. It worked but I realized to get enough volume to the sub to make it sound good, you were distorting the power to the speakers. They were also really drowned out by the sub. My recommendation and what I ended up doing was to get a 4 channel amp, bridging two channels for the sub and using the other two channels for the speakers. With the amp crossovers, you can really dial in the sound and get the best bang out is the sub. Good luck.

I would say yes. It's simply another RCA connection you could use for second subwoofer

You can probably get away with just the one rca out, but you should go to the Polk website - they have a lot of technical info there on connecting a subwoofer in your system.

Possibly, it all depends on the way the subwoofer is wired to the main speakers. Is it hardwired or can you disconnect it from the other two speakers altogether? If it can be disconnected then yes it's possible you may be able to use this. You might need an adapter though, again it depends on the connections.

If your subwoofer has speaker-level (high-level) inputs you may connect the left and right channels from your amplifier to those inputs. You will still have to connect them to your speakers to have all the frequencies of sound. If it has one LFE input you have to use the SW preout from your amplifier, you cannot use the left and right channels

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

From your mixer out plug your XLR cables into the sub and use the XLR out from the sub to your other powered speakers

Yes, You can... i have only connected my sub thus far (1 sub bridged together) and have not connected my door speakers so im not sure how it works once your using all 4 channels. hope this helps

It has hook up for four speakers but not for a subwoofer. It is not a very high power unit either so subwoofer out put wouldn't be much unless is was amplified. Frankly if you amplify a system like this you will only amplify all the noise distortion. To do what you are want to do look for a mini component system with a high power output and low distortion. This type of system would cost more but you'll thank your self for it. Pyle has some small amps that take input and flash drive mp3's maybe one of these have a subwoofer output.

I don't know the answer for that. You need to check on your receiver or pre-amp's manual, but if you want to use only one sub-woofer than you don't need this kind of cable, what you need is a straight forward cable. I don't think your receiver is designed for doing that. I have two sub outs on my receiver for the purpose to use two separate sub-woofer so you can put one on each side of the room or one in the front one in the back at your surround speakers. I don't recommend you to do that, you should never mix signals. This cable is designed for if you have a sub and does not have a LFE input but has inputs for left and right than you connect the double Y part to the sub and the single end to your pre-out. Also you can contact with Mediabridge they have excellent technical support. Good luck and don't do it!!!

I do not believe you can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8R4Vemvhsc&sns;=em this is a good review and shows the connection options. Mine sounds like junk. It started to sound distorted or something about a month and a half in. My friend knows speakers and said the subwoofer is cheaply made and there is a lose connection so it keeps cutting out. I wouldnt buy.

Any subwoofer occupies a single "channel" from the receiver - one that combines the low bass outputs from right and left channels. Thus, one standard cable is usually sufficient. Do check the rear panel of your receiver/home entertainment power unit. It should have one output receptable labeled "subwoofer" or something similar. That is where the plug from the speaker goes. Since bass frequencies are not localized by our ears, there is no need for 2 subwoofers or separate cables to connect them. If the subwoofer has separate input jacks for the right and left channels (labeled and usually color coded) - which is very unlikely - you would need two such cables, plugged into the auxiliary R and L low level outputs from your receiver's pre-amp outputs (labeled)!

I asked Energy customer service about this. They said connect to the LEFT input of the sub only. They were very adamant that it would not degrade the sound. They explained that the Left/Right inputs are there for some (older?) receivers that have split Left/Right outputs for the subwoofer. I was going to by a Y adapter, but they convinced me there was absolutely no need.

Yes. It has a separate Line out for subwoofer. That's why I bought it 2.1 Stereo Amplifier.

This is a bit like asking "how do you cook?" There us no one best way to hook up a sub... you need to divide the frequency of the signal into the frequency range your speaker responds to. There are many ways to do this... a crossover network can split the input (your music) into "sub" and "everything else" before the amplifiers and use separate amps for the subs and everything else... but thus is only one solution. Tell us what equipment you are trying to use and perhaps you will get a more useful response.

Yes u can but depends on how u use it im using it as a door speaker amp and well bass control wont apply if ur using subs yeah go ahead

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
