Can I run a powered subwoofer through this (using speaker out cables from my stereo receiver)?

the unit is designed to process powered inputs, you shouldn't have a problem.

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

Yes - you should be able to do that as long as the sub-woofer has its own cut-off low pass cut-off filter.

Yes, you need an AV cable to connect your subwoofer to your receiver. An AV cable is the best way to go.

You should read the manual on your subwoofer. Most subwoofers have a dual purpose input, 2 RCA connectors to use a standard "stereo" input, but one of those will also act as a coaxial input for single cable operation with most receivers

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)!

Yes you can, it simply plugs in inline in between the radio harness and the head unit. I am currently running a hertz amplifier off the subwoofer rcas and am using this amplifier to give some extra power to my door speakers.

yes you can hook up a subwoofer if the subwoofer is a powered subwoofer meaning the subwoofer has its own amp attached to the back of it.

Not straightforwardly. There's no subwoofer output. You could probably use the tape outputts. In a worst case you could get a subwoofer with inputs for your speaker wires and outputs to carry the signal to the speakers. This arrangement is somewhat cumbersome and can be power-wasting. I would give Crutchfield a call and ask them.

You can just run your main amp wiring to the high level inputs and then run the needed wire from the sub to the front speakers. If your amp is a integrated preamp with mutable pre-outs you can run a RCA from the secondary pre-outs via a single RCA cable. This will give you a 2.1 setup with the sub playing only one channel of the possible two channels. Mono powered subs can run a single channel and it will not sound as though your missing out.

Can you be more specific on how to hook up a subwoofer{with "speaker level outputs"} to the Onkyo?

Juan is correct. Your subwoofer is probably unpowered, unless it has its own power cord. This receiver port that this connecter uses does not power the subwoofer, so you will not hear the signal through the speaker.

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

The unit converts your right and left speaker outputs from your stereo into a right /left rca +/- jacks. I suppose you could just connect one of your right/left speaker outs to the unit and run that same channel to a powered subwoofer input.

The short answer is no. This is a home use sub-woofer with a built in power amp.

No. It has a port for subwoofer cable, and jacks for regular speaker wire, either way you'll need to hardwire it to your receiver.

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.
