1) please use rca to 1/4 inch / rca to xlr cables(2 nos) . 2)connect from " preout" - "front" connections L , R (left most pins in the shaded area while looking from the rear). 3)You can use rtia9s, but start with a moderate volume on the amp (between 12 O clock and 3 O clock) and adjust gradually while listening to them- this will prevent any unexpected . 4)from the receiver setup menu you can balance the level of L & R to match with surround speakers, (try the entire volume range of normal listening to avoid in-balance) after that you don't need to touch the crown volume control - please control as usual with remote. hope this helps. 1) please use rca to 1/4 inch / rca to xlr cables(2 nos) . 2)connect from " preout" - "front" connections L , R (left most pins in the shaded area while looking from the rear). 3)You can use rtia9s, but start with a moderate volume on the amp (between 12 O clock and 3 O clock) and adjust gradually while listening to them- this will prevent any unexpected . 4)from the receiver setup menu you can balance the level of L & R to match with surround speakers, (try the entire volume range of normal listening to avoid in-balance) after that you don't need to touch the crown... » Read More 1) please use rca to 1/4 inch / rca to xlr cables(2 nos) . 2)connect from " preout" - "front" connections L , R (left most pins in the shaded area while looking from the rear). 3)You can use rtia9s, but start with a moderate volume on the amp (between 12 O clock and 3 O clock) and adjust gradually while listening to them- this will prevent any unexpected . 4)from the receiver setup menu you can balance the level of L & R to match with surround speakers, (try the entire volume range of normal listening to avoid in-balance) after that you don't need to touch the crown volume control - please control as usual with remote. hope this helps. « Show Less

Does the onkyo txnr-828 have pre outs? You should have rca out that says center, front right, front left etc... You would just run a single rca cable to each of the rca inputs on the amp from left and right channel output on onkyo.. You would then use speaker wire to connect amp to speakers. I am using this amp to power polk subwoofers that the amps burned up. I am running the subs as passive(no internal amp) and this amp is doing a really nice job. If you wanted, you could bi amp the speakers by running the amp in mono mode, you would then need 2 amps, one for each speaker. I am quite pleased with the performance of this amp to date.

If your Onkyo has "pre-out" RCA output jacks, which I think it does, you'd simply connect an analog 2 channel "RCA" cable from the Onkyo "pre-out" to the inputs (L+R) of the Crown, and hook up your speakers to the Crown. The Crown also has a volume control, so read the manual. You have to decide which place you want to control the volume from - the Onkyo or the Crown. It is a lot of power for the RTA 9's but it should sound great.JH

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

I will be able to provide a definitive answer if you can provide me the model of the receiver. To get this sub working, you either need a LFE out ( a co-axial port usually available on most of the basic receivers) or a sub-woofer speaker screw-in ports. To get the most out of this sub, i would prefer LFE out to connect to the sub.

Lancejulian, I just purchaded receiver TX-NR636 and a set of Polk Audio speakers. As I have not instaled them yet I canot tell you about my experience. But I based my decision on friends and internet opinion and I am expecting good result. Here you have my speakers: central - CS10 / front (2x) TSi100 / rear (4x) T15. I will not install atmos speakears because I have a small room. In future I will have more space and will install them. I hope this can help in your decision.

This amplifier works well with the ONKYO TX-NR3010 and is necessary to go from 9.2 or 9.4 to 11.2 or 11.4. It basically is used to power a pair of wide front speakers. And so, if the question is will it power two speakers, the answer is yes. You can always go to the Onkyo website and download the Owners Manual which is the best way to determine if it meets your needs.

The receiver has 2 subwoofer outputs. You can use either of them with an RCA cable to plug your subwoofer. I did exactly that with my own. If one day in the future you think you need a second subwoofer, you can use the other Onkyo output to plug it.

Yea its compleatly ohk to use the speaker wire you already have. But I would pay attention to the gage wire the onkyo system can handle. Because if you have to thick of speaker wire it won't fit. Plus this is a 7.1 surround sound system if you don't have the 7 speaker wires in you walls your not getting full listing experience.

Yes you will wire 2 speakers from your onkyo into the speaker solector and then from your speaker solector to all your speakers, its all in how you wire it.

It depends on your amp/receiver. If your amp/receiver has a DAC, then you would want to use the source with the best DAC. If there is no DAC in your amp/receiver, then go with the analog connection. This will use the DAC in the Onkyo. If you want to use the DAC from your amp/receiver, then use the coax connection. This will bypass the Onkyo DAC.

A connect allowed me to hook up my rOnkyo receiver & speakers. I still needed a bridge for all the wireless sonos speakers. Hope that helps

This should work. My stands are in storage, and have been there for a while so I can't remember perfectly. The way I remember my old Onkyo speakers (which looked similar to the RM85) was that the stands came with a plate which allowed me to screw some mounting holes in the back of my speakers. I can't find any pictures of the back of the RM85's to be sure its the same deal, but according to the spec sheet on Polk's website, it should work. You may even have two options, standing them on the mounts, or screwing them to the back.

As far as I can tell your Denon does not have multi-channel pre-amp outputs. So there is no way to connect an outboard amplifier to your receiver.

Hey Frank - My Bose Acoustimass 10 is hooked up to an Onkyo TX-NR414 - which is the A/V receiver Bose was recommending at the time I bought it. While yours is a little more capable it should work just fine. With this number of speakers you will not be able to take advantage of the 7.1 capability of your Onkyo - but rather 5.1 - which seems every bit immersive to me.Hope this helpsTom

You can only use mono-plug RCA to RCA cables with this amplifier. If you are using a receiver as a pre-amplifier, it should have audio outputs with mono-plug RCA to RCA to connect this amplifier. For example look at the rear connections of Onkyo TX-NR929 9.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver , the section marked as PRE-OUT in the rear of the receiver are all the mono-plug RCA to RCA outputs you need to connect your amplifer

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(

If I understand your question correctly, yes. I use mine with a Onkyo receiver. The transmitter is wired to the receiver and the speaker is at the rear of the room. My fronts and center are connected in the conventional wired manor. This is the only rear I use and it provides a very good effect all things considered.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?
