I play bass but how can I use this as a home theatre system also? I'm anxious to try

This is actually not designed to be used in that fashion and I would be unable to tell you how that might be done.

I gave up trying, so I haven't checked in a while. I mostly use mine for live playing with Mainstage. But, I'd love to know the answer myself... Let me know!

I don't think you can. I did hook up a non-powered subwoofer with an old amp but was never really happy with the sound. This Onkyo receiver has very poor bass response in my opinion. Sorry I am no help.

This could do it, but it's complete overkill for a home theater setup. Just get a stereo crossover. You don't need to pay for all the extra features this has for live sound.

I dont think it would be good for bass. I would look into something with more wattage or a amp that is made for bass playing.

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.

Oh it picks up bass all right, just make sure you can control it because it will be loud!

Possibly, more setup for guitar...a analog stomp box would be more versatile for bass.

This forum doesn't get much action try the home theater one. I think some people just asked similar questions there so if you browse through some of the threads you will probably find some great ideas. Here's the link...

I believe yes. You can connect it either to a subwoofer RCA output from your home theatre amplifier or in parallel to the stereo "power" output from a standard stereo amplifier, it has some low-pass filter to extract the deep "bass" signals.It really depends on your set up with your sound bar and how it is connected to your source, somewhere you should have either the low-level RCA subwoofer output or the stereo speaker output.Maybe you can provide some more details?Let me take this opportunity as an update: I have been owning the buttkicker for about two years now and using it from time to time and I still truly love it and find it amazing!

This is an old question, but I stumbled across it, and I figured I would answer it for you. The easiest way to get it to 'play' with you bass it to get another controller that detects sound and gives a current based off of that. Other than that, you could try to come up with a circuit that detects the power being sent to your subwoofer, or speakers, and matches the intensity in voltage supplied to the lights. Unfortunately, you can't just wire them directly in- line with the speaker because of two things 1 being that it will degrade the sound quality to the speaker, and 2 being that the voltage supplied to move the speaker is much different than the voltage needed to power the LED's. TL;DR: Get another controller that does it for you. Source: Installing lot's of these in various projects, Installing my own sound system, and being an Electrical Engineer in training.

the easiest way, i think, would be to connect everything to your TV and run a single audio out to your surround sound system. I personnally use an optical out from my tv to my home theater set up as my TV has far more connections than my receiver.

This puck and other bass vibrators must be supplied with a signal from a low pass filter ie crossover. Hooking this up directly from the amp speaker out will not work correctly. If your system has a subwoofer then wire this from the subs output. Otherwise buy a sub crossover.

Sorry, Mark, but I have not tried either. My perception is that you need an AMPLIFIED source of audio such as audio out from an amplifier or TV, but it's possible that your DVD player and/or Dish will have sufficient amplification to work fine. My recommendation is to call the manufacturer's support line and ask. The documentation is so good that I'll be surprised if they cannot give you a quick and authoritative answer--they really seem focused on keeping the user happy. I continue to be very, very pleased with my ZVOX 555. My wife and I love that we can actually hear and understand virtually 100% of the dialog from the satellite, local channels, and DVD, sooooo much better than playing it through our stereo amplifier/receiver. My only wish is for a little more bass. We're leaving in a few days for summer away from our home here in Florida, but when we return in the fall I plan to look into adding a subwoofer to the system to provide more bass. The ZVOX 555 has a subwoofer output and there are plenty of small subwoofers available, so I don't think getting a little more bass be an issue. Wish I had a more complete answer for you!

The L1, as far as I could see is an integral powered speaker system and I think it has crossovers to send to each components it's convenient frecuences so I think you coul play a bass guitar on it because it has a sub woofer which could work well on it, of course, don't think you can play with it on stage with a heavy metal band, but taking it easy and playing softly, I think there shouldn't be so much problems to play with a bass in it.

No you can not. This unit is to small to have a lot of bass but I have been pleased with the overall sound of the unit.
