are the subwoofers amplified

Not sure if they are amplified. But it has its own power cord. So maybe it is. It's a good sub. It will shake your room. And you can turn it up or down.

Yes, the subwoofer is amplified. I purchased the Onkyo system to act as a preamplifier and give me options for other inputs (USB, bluetooth, etc.), but the Polk 5.1 system is great and amazing for the price. I highly recommend it. Mine is in a large living room area with vaulted ceilings and sounds wonderful.

Yes they are. The bass is deep and the mids and highs are crisp. Mostly the mids. The system does output very nicely for speakers that size.

I don't know but, I would not buy this subwoofer as the one I purchased failed to work very shortly after my purchase.

Yes it does have subwoofer outputs , i have two twelves and its works perfectly for them

No. I have hearing loss and enjoy my speakers without a subwoofer. Then again, I am missing some sounds.

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

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.

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.

yes, each speaker can handle up to 150watts and the subwoofer has a built in amp of 250 watts.remember the placement of the speakers is very important with these. They need to be pointing where you'll be sitting (except for the subwoofer). The sound from these speakers is not omnidirectional, but more focused and that's partially responsible for their superior sound quality.

Yes. There are reasons for this so talk to tech from subwoofer manufacturer. Or receiver manufacturer.

I have no clue but i haven't tried that. Be sure to adjust your audio settings from the device (Pc, phone, tablet or laptop) first then adjust the subwoofer. It still sounds good for the price.

No. It is a very powerful amplifier by itself. But it adds the capability to add a seperate subwoofer amp or to even add extra power amplifiers as well. I run 4 DJ speakers off the main amplifier and then use an RCA cable from the subwoofer out to run two subwoofer amplifiers that drive two 15 inch subs.

no, the subwoofer has the power supply. the power and volume are controlled from one of the speakers though

yes if you use red and white rca stereo audio cable to plug into the subwoofer

Yes - I've subbed a slightly smaller and less obvious sub woofer. Had to do some surgery on the original wires but ... everything works great.

No. They require an amp and normal speaker wires. For best results you will also want a subwoofer.

The system has only one amp. Which is built into the Subwoofer housing. It has a 50 watt peak and 25 watt per side. But the efficiency and quality are good as long as you have a clean signal going in. For a small office or desk top listening they're great. with a very decent volume range and a good full sound. Hope this helps. rob..
