[QUOTE="zane, post: 11273, member: 540617"] I would advise you to not try and push a sub from a recievers internal amplifier. While many claim to produce 50 watts x 4 or so- you have to take into consideration that this is a peak power rating- meaning- it doesnt always produce 50 watts x 4. Likely its RMS rating is between 12 and 22 watts x 4. This is not enough power to sufficiently motivate the Voice coil of the subwoofer, there for, there would be little output. Your most strait forward solution is to run your power and signal wires and install a powered subwoofer or a separate amp and sub. There are sacrifices and work that must be done to achieve the bottom end you desire. There really isnt a way to get arround it.... take it easy, -zane [/QUOTE]
