“Sub Woofer Sorry, me again Ott, I have a passive class 2 wired sub woofer. I had read that on a 5.2 channel system I can connect it to the center wired speakers on the class 2 connectors? Is this true or do I need a new powered or passive sub woofer with the RCA connector? Thanks for answering my audio question earlier. I am really interested in buying this unit.”

I think you will need to buy another amplifier for your subwoofer. The RCA jacks will definitely not drive a speaker. They are only at line out levels. I unfortunately did not realize there was no amp for the subwoofer in this when I bought it, so now it is back in the box, and I am trying to find someone who can use it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a sub from the same set up from the rca brand that's hookd up to this reciever but the sub has no plug only wires so I can't use it .. u put on a banana plug it may short circuit it so I have to find a powerd sub .. u can only use a regular wire plug sub
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Ott!, It would be necessary to use an active subwoofer since we don't recommend to use it as a speaker and connect it through center, front or rear ports, even though they are similar to traditional speakers the sub needs more power to reproduce low frequency sounds most commonly referred to as bass , the A/V receiver needs to be able to send enough power to sustain bass effects reproduced by the sub without draining the power supply in the receiver.~ Jeannette
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use that receiver. However, I believe that the wiring diagram says to use both front speaker connections (L+, L- and R+, R-) to connect to the sub. The receiver has built in amp rated at 145w per channel. Should give the thump you seek.
