Can you plug in a subwoofer with these speakers? If not, is there a set of speakers that you can add a subwoofer too? I have a subwoofer, don't want to buy another one in set.

Jerry, there is a head phone jack on the control panel but when you plug in a head phone it turns off the speakers. I don't believe these will power another speaker.

Hi Jerry, I don't believe so. There is a 'Headphone' jack and a 'Music In' jack (incase you want to plug in your IPhone or MP3 player through these, you just need an auxiliary cable) But there isn't a 'Output' jack to drive the woofer. Although I must say, it would be hell'a cool to play 'War Thunder' with a subwoofer attached :-))))) I hope this helps.

No this set is meant to handle the bass as it is. You can plug in an auxiliary source but the sub wouldn't work there. I have never noticed a speaker set that let you add your own sub.

No, these units have very nice bass response. You could add a subwoofer if you like floor shaking bass, otherwisethe speakers sound very balanced with a good low end.

Yes the speakers plug directly into the subwoofer and the speaker cables come already attached to the speakers. I have no idea why John H. Russell said no.

Nope. These connect with speaker wire, so you'll need some sort of receiver to connect them to. They have good lows, so a sub isn't strictly necessary--especially for music--but for movies, you'll probably want a decent sub and surrounds too.

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.

I'd like to echo S.Boyd's question... and that is... where can you buy just the additional AW-871 speakers? I've googled like crazy and can find only the option to buy another complete set (transmitter and two speakers)... but really, I just need a couple additional speakers only...Your help is greatly appreciated!

There is a cable for the subwoofer but the rest you'd have to buy speaker wire for. They are good speakers and work well for my space (rooms about 15 ft X 12 ft.). Good price for a set too.

They are only tweeters. So no bass in them. You would need a subwoofer. That's what I had to get

Hello Matthew, I am not using the subwoofer that come with the speakers. I have a Polk Audio sub and it is still working great. The speakers, on the other hand, are great. I have a hearing problem and I am hearing sounds I never heard from movies before so I have been rewatching a lot of them to hear the richness of the sounds I have been missing. As far as getting a cable, you get what you pay for. You don't have to buy the best but don't get the cheap one.

I don't believe you can hook this to a PC without some kind of odd setup. I have had this system for my home theater system for probably a good 5 years now and I still love them and have no thought of replacing them. I just really would have no clue how you could hook them up to a PC. I don't think a PC would put out nearly enough power to run these, the subwoofer is quite large and would take a bit of power to operate.

No! Don't plug your Subwoofer into the outlet!! It doesn't have a preamp like other subwoofers. There are 2 pairs of wires: right channel [green (+) and white (-)] and left channel [red (+) and black (-)]. Just attached them to your receiver like you would any speaker. Good luck!

They're not a true sub, so I didn't use a box, you just install them like any normal aftermarket speaker. If you wanted to put them in a box I guess you could but I couldn't help you with that. I haven't done it enough.

you can use any standard high quality speakers they will sound better if they are a matched set. the subwoofer output is unpowered so it needs to be a powered sub.

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

The built in amp only powers the subwoofer. You will need an additional amp for the other speakers. You have the capability to connect speaker wires from a amp to the sub and run your speakers out of the sub woofer.

You can use a sub-woofer in conjunction with this pair of speakers, but not without a receiver. There is no port that would allow you to directly link the two. Further, the speakers are not powered (they're passive) and require a power source (receiver) to function.
