Product Manuals

Q: I have Yamaha 400W RX-V485BL receiver with 5 speakers: 2 pioneer SP=FS 52(130W input power each), 1 Yamaha NS-AC 40X(140W music/70W nominal), & 2 Atlantic 154 SR(10-120W each), any issue to add this Yamaha 8" 50W Powered Sub-woofer to the 400W receiver?

A: You should have no problem after you locate your receiver’s input bank, and subwoofer input port. I’m like you with my family room system (really big TV): I pump audio from any source to 13 speakers and 2 powered subwoofers through a flagship Denon. Your 400w should deliver just fine, especially with power from your subwoofer pulling up the audio it processes. Good luck and have fun! Brian in Colorado

Q: I don't have much room for this. The port will basically be right up against a wall. What are the consequences of that sound wise or vent wise?

A: The port needs room to breath, right up next to the wall will greatly diminish your sound. The manual shows the best position is angled in towards the listening area, not straight forward.

Q: 50 watts doesn't seem like much power. Is it enough for a good size loft?

A: Don't know what you mean by a good size loft. I have it in a 15X15 Bedroom and it adds more than enough bottom end! Very happy with it's performance.

Q: Can I connect this subwoofer to a Yamaha ats-1070 sound bar ?

A: Yes you can and the Yamaha Sub delivers true bass, very rich and deep frequencies.

Q: Will this Yamaha woofer work with Sonos beam sound bar.

A: Bought this on a local classified add from someone who bought it for a SONOS system. He sold it to me because it wouldn’t work with his SONOS.
