I understand there are 2 types of subwoofers, active and passive. I bought the receiver Yamaha RX-V473B and don´t know if this sub works well. Txs.

It was a good subwoofer but it broke on me about a year ago. It just stop working and I had the subwoofer for about 3years. When it was working it sound great.

Yamaha YST-SW215 8" 150 Watt works well and sound perfect in my 15ftx12ft with a 10ft ceiling ht living rm. if you have a bigger room get a bigger wattage.

The Subwoofer out has to be enabled look at the manual. Also there's a test function to see if the subwoofer is connected correctly.

No the ohms won't matter. If your receiver has the subwoofer RCA port you can run that to the subwoofer. If not you can wire it through the speakers. I would try both and see if you notice any difference and choose the one that gives you the best performance. I've had the best luck, performance and reliability with Yamaha receivers. I have one thats 15 years old and is great. It has the digital optical port for the Dolby Digital surround sound so I haven't bothered getting a newer one. I referred my friend to the Yamaha RXV 377 and she loves it.

That's impossible to say. Too many variables. It all depends on how loud you play your system and how high you adjust the bass control on the speaker. One thing in the Yamaha's favor is that it's a front-firing subwoofer, not a downward-firing subwoofer (the speaker faces the floor) like many other units. Another is that it's not a high-powered unit and won't deliver room-shaking levels of sound.

I don't think it works like that Rooster. The sub reproduces tones from the audio signal that theKlipsch is un able to reproduce. Check out the BIC subwoofer, looks like a good choice for the budget-mindedaudiophile. I agree that this Synergy speaker could really use some bottom end.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

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 if your receiver has separate subwoofer Input that supports powered subwoofer it works ,this subwoofer is pretty good and generates nice base and sound

I have an SVS sub paired with mine. I use them primarily for home theater, but I listen to music as well. They sound really good together. I've never really used the speakers alone. I do not think it's too much bass. If so, you could always dial down your sub a bit.

A subwoofer's wattage would be delivered to the speaker, not the receiver. This is a moot question.

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.

Great sub-woofer. Just compare the specs from the model you are referring to. Not sure exactly what you mean by classic? there are many versions. For example, in this present time this model you are looking at is now an older version and kicker now has newer versions that handle a bit more RMS Watts

Yes. As long as you have a receiver that does at least 5.1. Plus you need to make sure the inputs for the sub match the inputs for the receiver. Otherwise you may need some adapters to get it to work.I use 4 of these with one center channel being a different Yamaha and it sounds great. My family just visited this weekend and commented about how awesome it was.

Bill, I doubt anything "went wrong", but the Yamaha may not deal with potential impedance differences between your main speakers and your sub. Luckily, Yamaha allows you to set up levels for each set of speakers (front, center, back, sub) from within the setup menus. Using the remote, do the following: setup -&gt; speaker -&gt; level -&gt; scroll down to "sub" and raise the level (default is flat (0db)) until you like how it sounds. hope this helps, gfd

There are two subwoofer outputs, but it does not support the Audyssey Sub EQ for eq'ing multiple subwoofers in your room. The X4000 does.

When I first tried using my receiver's "subwoofer out" connection, the sub wouldn't turn on automatically. The reason, I determined, was that I didn't have the subwoofer selected in the receiver's menu. Once I made sure that the sub was, indeed, being fed a signal, it has been working flawlessly. I hope this helps.
