okay bear with me I'm not an "audiophile"; can I hook this up to a system that has red &amp; black tabs that you insert wires into?

Yes just use the threaded binding post terminals on our speakers they are also Red and Black

It is an amplified system. So yes, however you will most likely have to buy a conversion cable RCA to 1/4 TS

Just researching systems myself. But at the most all you should need to hook this up is a audio RCA cable. It should come with a RCA cable though. It also should come with speaker wires. And that's really it should take to hook it up.

You can easily add a subwoofer to a system. There is a dedicated subwoofer out port.

If you have a receiver that is 5.2 or 7.2 you can run one RCA cable to the Red and one to the white for the 2 sub outputs. That's what I did.

If there isn't't an audio output, you will have to splice into your speaker wires. With out seeing what you have, I feel inadequate to answer this. Back in the day some of us did this. Be careful to not turn up the volume to much. remember watts per channel. You may have to do a little research.

Audio out on any system will work. You may need a spliter. One into two. Pretty cool.

The red and white are RCA ports. That is how I have mine hooked up. I tried to use the optical audio port... And it sounded great, but the way things decode(I don't completely understand it) it doesn't work for a lot of audio. The black, I believe, is a mono rca input.

I don't think you can. I did hook up a non-powered subwoofer with an old amp but was never really happy with the sound. This Onkyo receiver has very poor bass response in my opinion. Sorry I am no help.

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

Yes, that is the beauty of this system!!!! Just make sure you buy the right connector to your system though. I didn't check it close enough and had to buy an adapter. But I am hard of hearing and my wife can listen at a human level while I have it piped right to me!!

depends. If you have an RCA cable out you can buy a cord that changes a red and white to an AUX headphone jack and plug that into the sound system. If you are trying to use HDMI or optical then no.

You will need to buy sound cables, I used Monster Cables, strip the cables and inert the plus to the red clamp and the minus to the black. If you have a receiver do the same there. If you are going direct to your TV, you will have to figure what kind of hook-up you will need.

Yes you can bi-wire. I have my system set up that way. I'm not really sure if there is a noticible increase in sound quality but I figure what can it hurt.

Yes and no! The speakers provided have proprietary connectors going into the system. You can of coarse cut the connectors off leaving a couple of inches of wire and connect your own. I have not resorted to that yet. It appears you can get the genuine article now at about $11 each (Sony Part# J-2501-295-A/Sony DAV-BC150). I saw some packs reporting to be these on one the auction sites - some with wires much cheaper than that, but you need be sure they are the right connectors. "Real" Sony connectors were not available at all last time I looked but now I see them, since I have some good speaks to connect I will shell out the $20+.

You can "Loop out" of one into the other with an XLR Cable. Speakers input and The output is labeled Link in the rear. That's it.

You should be able to plug into both without issue... unless your audio interface doesn't have XLR input output on it.
