Yeah, as long as the receiver has a LFE pre-out.

It's an older Yamaha but I will check that out thanks.....is it bad to run the mids and highs threw the sun no right it's just turning into a huge mid sub

It won't hurt the sub, it just sounds like crap. You need a passive low pass crossover

I have ran car subs off home receivers for deacdes. Sounds fine if you use proper passive crossovers. My garage has car coax in boxes and car subs in boxes ran off an older 2 channel receiver, through a 200Hz 12dB/oct passive crossover (2 channel, high/low). Sounds **** good.

A receiver with a LFE out requires another amp.

Plate subwoofer amps are recommended in all cases, you get active crossovers and good power.
