can my HTPC connect to this unit and then from this unit to my 6 floor standing Polk speakers RTi150 (2) and RTi38 (4). Do I need a power amplifier?

The PMP 2000 includes a power amplifier. If the impedance of the speakers matches the impedance of the PMP 2000 output you should not have a problem. You can get the PMP 2000 specs online to check whether your HTPC output to the unit and the output to your speakers match. The unit should have enough power to work for you, with power to spare.

I connected my Polks in to Onkyo 80watts per channel ( RMS) high current amplifier .works great ..I have JBL Floor standing speakers as well .but really like my Polks

Yes they can. Think of your receiver as two parts: one part is a pre-amp/video processor and the other is an amplifier(s). So you can use a few of these APA 150s and connect them to the PRE-OUTs on the back of your receiver. Depending on your model you should have at least six connections(for 5.1) or more if you have 7 or 9 channel audio. Use the appropriate pre-out for the speakers you want to amplify with the Dayton APA. You could start with Front L&R and then do Center, and so on. Then connect your speakers to the APA and your all set. FYI many say this makes a fine subwoofer amp so you can use it for the sub pre-out as well if you have a passive sub or want to up the power to an amplified sub. Good luck!

This is definitely not possible without powered speakers (and no amp). I'm not sure if it would work with powered speakers but I would guess not (you might be able to plug the left and right rca out on the dac to the left and right powered speaker, I'm not sure).

You can connect it to the L/R channel and use it as a regular speaker. You will need an amp with a center channel output to use it as such

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

This unit does not have any type of amplification, it is only a pre-amp/processor. Depending what amplifier you choose to work with this unit will determine the type of speakers you may use.

Think of this unit as 5 individual power amps to do as you please. Use "Y" input connectors to create 2 sets of 2 speaker outputs. Add an external equalizer if you need further adjustments. What you'll want to do with the 5th channel is anyone's guess. I hope this helps.

Sorry this took so bloody long (if you'll pardon my French). On the back of the unit you will find a bank of 5.1 outputs (there are none for 6.1); using a 5.1 cable (not supplied, naturally), connect these to the corresponding inputs on your amplifier / receiver. Or, if your amplifier / receiver is so equipped, you can use the coaxial connection (coaxial cable also not supplied). Hope this helps. My first thought was to refer you to the User Manual, but that woulda been snarky, and anyway the darn thing is so confusing it should be called a Useless Manual. But anyway, ciao for now!

No - I use Yamaha HTR 4066 amp to connect the speakers and the amp connects to the TV and DVR

You have to connect this to a receiver or amplifier. The speakers are connected to the receiver. You choose the receiver and speakers.

Marc, I don't know the specs of the Wetsounds HT6 you've referred to. I'm powering (4) 6x9 3-way Polk Audio speakers with (1) channel each and a 10" Polk Audio sub with the remaining (2) channels bridged together. So far it kicks hard, (classic rock, blues & jazz)actually way more power than I need in a 22' Scarab. The only thing I don't like so far is the large size & weight of the Pyle. I read mixed reviews about the quality of Pyle amps, but decided to try it since I got it for +/-$160... Happy trails, Mark

This is over kill for a home theater system, we use it on stage PA. You would be better off getting a surround sound amplifier that has subwoofer connections already built in.

Yeah if the speakers are connected to the head unit .. Other wise no I'm assuming you bought the amp To power the speakers so you wouldn't have it connected it to the head unit

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

Q: can you use this to power 4 6x9 speakers (150rms each at 4ohm) And how would you wire a high level imput into this amp? (stock head unit because they dont make an aftermarket one)A: You can buy the speaker line to RCA adapter to feed your speaker lines into the amp. I used an Audiocontrol LC6i in my setup but not necessary unless you want to add subwoofer and amps.I have a small amp for my speakers and one amp for this sub. 2ohms is how the shop I went to set it up. The amp I got was like $65 and it works great. I've had both for about 1.5-2 years now

Yes You Need Powered Speakers. You Connect Using RCA Cables. Use Either An Amplifier Or Powered Speakers And You Are Good To go.
