if you are going to spend money on an external amp ,might as well just get a powered subwoofer instead

I would ask the manufacturer. The amp had inputs for additional device connection. I only got the 30 modle with no additional add ons. Sorry. I wish I could have been more help

I wouldn't hook up an inferior amp to a sub like this... I would go either JL audio or sundown brand max 2000 Watts mono block.. I personally use an SAZ1000 and it works perfectly

my sub is starting to get weak for some reason. do you guys know if i can hook up a powered sub to this receiver? im not sure if i can since the sub this came with connects via regular speaker wires (black and red)

Most of the good subs are powered, have their own amplifiers so you do not need a amp for usb. A typical HT setting does not use passive subs.

Spec sheet in ad says "yes". I don't use a sub. I'd double check and look at the manual online.

sorry I'm not to tech savvy. I had a friend help and I didn't know much of what was going on. I do have a separate amp, which is an inuke nu1000sp, made by a behringer. I have 3 total, 1 each on three chairs. they do work really good, especially compared to the higher price ones. if I can find more info I will let you know.

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

There is no cable included with the sub. Connections are hi pass and low pass depending on whether you want the receiver power to drive it or let wall power and the built in amp to drive it. I'm running mime plugged into 110v and getting a low signal from my receiver.

This should work wel for your system. The total power of my amp stated on the test sheet was 715amps. It has plenty of power. Turn off the low pass switches to the speakers and get your base from the Sub woofer! I think you will be happy!

Try going to the STANLEY web-site and look for support. The Amp Jumper is almost self-explanatory but the manual can give you some additional help.

Hi Eric,I will certainly recomend a seperate amp to power this sub. I tried bridging speakers and adding the sub. It just drew to much from one amp. The amp was getting to hot and shutting down. I chose to go with the Kenwood KAC-5206. This sub sits behind the passengers seat in a 97 Ford Ranger. And man this thing THUMPS!

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.

Dear John--Perhaps I guessed wrong. If the sub-woofer hums when you touch the RCA plug on the end of the cable, it is indeed an amplified sub-woofer. I share your expectation that the sub-woofer should work when the RCA plug is plugged into the STR-DH800 subwoofer output. All I can think of is to double check the Speaker Pattern setting of the STR-DH800 as described on Pages 20 and 47 of the Operating Instructions--if the selection isn't X/X.1, the sub-woofer will not be enabled. Good luck!Bill

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it
