powered sub Can you add an aftermarket powered sub to this unit? If so, what will you need to do that?

YES and make sure the sub you buy accepts speaker wire input, and not just RCA

You covered 2 of the 3 options neededThe one you did not cover is if the sub is self powered. If it is then yes it'll workIf it is NOT self powered (like mine is not) then no it will not work

In all honesty yes you do need to buy a powered subwoofer. Though you can run lines from the receivers left and right front speaker outs to the sub and then to the front speakers, you are asking way too much of the reciever at 75 watts per channel. But don't fret. You can find decent subs pretty cheap. I just ordered a Pioneer sw-8 from newegg for $79. They also have a 10 in Polk that goes on sale a lot for $89.

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers

yes, that's fine. it would still be a major major upgrade from your stock subs. but it is recommended to power any sub at about 25% more than its RMS power rating to get the most out of what you paid for it. nevertheless, you'll have fun with it vs the stock ones.

To balance the load of the powered amp in the sub, I bought a RCA splitter and plugged it into the L/R on the back of the sub. My reciever only had one RCA out for my sub so the splitter worked

Yeah I used a powered sub with this system and it improves the sound quite a bit. I don't remember exactly how I did it but it was pretty easy.

It looks like you have an RCA type plug in the sub plug in on the back if so, yes it will work and add great base to your system.

There are no power outlets on the receiver. If your subwoofer supports power down with no audio signal, then that should work.

Are both subs powered, if so switch the inputs to see if the other works if not you have a bad RCA cord. Hope this helps you.

You can power any aftermarket speaker off of your head unit. Amps only provide additional power for the speakers.

Thanks for your question. You will need a powered subwoofer for any quality contemporary receiver. None have powered sub outputs. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Denon dealer.

yes, you will need a receiver or an amp to power the two speakers. the sub has an amp built in.

i dont know the ohms of the sub cause i never removed it from the box. it comes as a kit with sub and enclosure with amp and wiring that is all a mopar accessory, has all factory type connectors on the amp and sub box, so without a bunch of mods it doesnt look like itll be able to mount to an aftermarket amp

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.

You will need a 1600w amp at minimum. The sub does not have an amp built in.

You don't need to add anything. your battery will be fine. Of course you still need an amp kit for this sub but no upgrades to the vehicle are needed with your set up
