Been using these in the car audio world for years so you could use the car's original head unit (that didn't have low outs) when adding amps. I also used it for an Onkyo TX8511 receiver. Worked great but it did change the sound slightly and the single sent to the amp was a little hot. The issue is that these hi to low outputs are not made for a lot of power. The Onkyo I used it on had 120 watts per channel which is a little out of its power range and why it was a bit hot. As I said these were made so the factory radios in a car could stay not screwing up the dash with a new head unit. Most factory radios are lucky to be 40 watts that are in its range. Just watch how much power you put into the Russo and you will be fine. There are other hi to low converter makers out there but be careful some have extremely low watt numbers that they can handle.

So my question is if you use this adapter and power your speakers with power amplifiers will your preset eq settings built into the receiver work correctly? The problem I’m running into is the receiver I have also doesn’t have pre outs but has a zone 2 out so I am able to use my power amp to drive 2 speakers but they sound so different because all my other speakers I can change the built in eq settings (rock pop ect) but zone 2 never changes.

[@Audiolympian]

Ah I see your dilemma. So, using this adapter takes the speaker signal that has already passed through the receiver’s decoder and bitrate, allowing the amp to enhance your power output. If you were to go back to your receiver’s menu and make sound adjustments it would work like normal. The only difference I would say that would be there is the speakers that are connected to the amp would be louder. But the timber would be matched. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

@@mohe81 good question. If your amp has controls such as volume and output level. Yea you can do that. Because once the signal reaches the amp, from there it’s now in the hands of the amp. So however the amp performs is how the signal will flow. Thanks for the question and for watching

My question is since the the 2 main channel on the AV receiver is now getting the juice from the power amp is ok to set in the receiver my main speaker to large instead of small since the AV receiver don't have to make any extra effort to drive my 15 inches main speaker ? Another question the main 2 speaker channel in the receiver still power up or the receiver take the main speaker power to feed with more power the other channel?

Thanks for the question. It will be fine to change your main speakers to large. That basically shares the bass response with the sub instead of solely pushing Lfe to the sub.

Thank you! I am being given a Sony stereo amplifier. I have a Sony 5.1 AVR and it seems it is not putting the power out on the front left and right channels, but the center is plenty loud. My AVR does not have pre-amp outs though. Is this modification going to lessen the demand on the AVR amplifier? Can I leave the center channel on the AVR or should I try and run it off the stereo amp? It does have a zone A and B that you can run at the same time and some people do two stereo sets or have that send the signal a sub because this stereo receiver is technically a 2.0 not a 2.1. Can I leave the Sub on the AVR? Do you leave your amplifier volume control to max and then control master volume via AVR only?

[@Audiolympian]

Hey @nathanaelcole8466 thanks for the questions. So no this set up will not lessen the load of the receiver because it uses the existing signal after output. You can leave the center on the receiver but it will have lesser volume than the speakers connected to the amp. But if it’s very noticeable or not will depend on your amp. For example I use a sun fire amp with 200 watts per channel and my center channel is just connected to my receiver and the difference of sound is noticeable but not unbearable, for me anyway. Also my amps don’t have volume controls but if the did I’d have them all the way up and use the receiver for sound controls. And yes leave your sub on the receiver, as long as it’s a self powered sub. If it’s a passive sub then you may want to connect to an amp. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

It does have an MD/CD-R in and out as well as VCR in and out and others, what do I do ?? Thanks

[@Audiolympian]

Ok this is a good challenging question. First off I believe the equalizer for the Bose should have a section for amplifier input. So according to your Yamaha that doesn’t have preouts you definitely will need the adapter to connect them. Now, I be never used those speakers before so I’m not sure if they can hook up directly without the equalizer. If it can and you choose not to use the equalizer you would possibly still need an amplifier to power them properly as I know those speakers do need some juice. Now to answer you other question about the difference of the Bose equalizer and others. Think of the Bose equalizer as a specific crossover unit made just for those speakers. Could you use another equalizer?. maybe, but it’s probably not going to control the sound the way it’s intended. I’ve know the 901’s to be great speakers but I’ve also heard they are fussy and need to have the right settings to reach potential. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

@Audiolympian I guess what I'm asking is since its not powering those two speakers does it improve the power available to the other ones. Sorry if this is what you just answered

[@Audiolympian]

@@corytodd1690 no problem. The way the device works, is you take speaker wire from the receiver and connect it to the device. Because of that you are still using the power of the receiver. So essentially you could say you are doubling up on the wattage of the front main speakers. For example if the receiver is 75 wpc and you connect a 50 wpc amp this way, it’s now 125 wpc on the front channels. You don’t bypass the amplification in the receiver. Now, if the receiver has preouts and you connect the amp to the receiver’s preouts then you would bypass the receiver’s amp section and now are using and external power source for amplification and leaving extra headroom for the other channels because the main channels are not being powered by the internal power supply. Hope that makes sense.

Mostly depends on budget. But I usually try to give options between the $300 - $700 price ranges. Also keep in mind any recommendation might be able to be found on aftermarket sites which could mean a little lower price. Depending on your set up (stereo or surround) but any current pioneer, denon, marantz or Yamaha. Receivers are really good today and come with a lot of options. Entry and mid level products tend not to come with a lot of actual power, maybe 80 wpc. But good enough to get the job done. And of course the bigger the budget, the higher up the scale, the more bells and whistles along with more power. As far as two receiver set ups, not much to recommend other than a more modern subwoofer that comes with a wireless app for more control such as SVS or paradigm. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

It should work as long as your home amplifier has the additional channels. As far as a delay in sound, that would depend on the distance, which could be adjusted by the receiver. Other than that I don’t think there would be a delay. Hope that helps and thanks for watching

I have a Paradigm PDR-10 v2 subwoofer, and a JVC-RX-517V. What would be the best way to connect this subwoofer, if I have front speakers, and surround sound speakers? The subwoofer has a low level input, and a right/lift red/black speaker level input. The receiver does not have a subwoofer pre out, or a line level output for a subwoofer. It has speakers 1 and 2 line level outputs(not A and B), a center channel out, and surround sound speaker line outs. Could I hook both the subwoofer and fronts in the same ports on the receiver, or would connecting with the surrounds work better?

[@Audiolympian]

I would connect the subwoofer using the high level inputs (the red and black inputs) on the back of the sub. So you would take speaker wire from your receiver (front, left and right) and connect them to the red and black speaker input on the sub. Then take another set of speaker wires from your sub’s speaker output to your front main speakers. That will power up you sub when you turn on your receiver. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

I have the Denon 760H recently bought it from Costco 7.2.It does not have pre outs. How can I add extra speakers to the receiver.

Can I do parallel speaker wire connections to the existing speaker out in the receiver,one going to speaker and the other going to this connector then to amp and from amp to the extra speakers needed ?

[@Audiolympian]

Yes you can do that but keep in mind the extra channels won’t be dedicated channels for a true 11 speaker set up it would still just be 7 channels split up because the receiver is designed for 7 channel output decoding. So basically which ever channels you parallel will have the exact same sound coming from both speakers. But at the very least it would give you more sound through more speakers.

[@santiagopastor8548]

I have a 5.1 but want to get a 3 channel amp to power the front LCR speakers. Does doing this method increase the watts the surrounds will be getting? Thanks in advance.

[@Audiolympian]

It only increases the wattage to surrounds if they’re connected to amp. However, receivers are designed to push a little more power to the channels being used if not all channels are being used. So yes it will push a little more power to the surrounds when the 3 main channels are on an amp but it doesn’t do it the way we think so it’s not a continuous wattage push it delivers to the other channels only when needed. The only time it makes a real difference is when the receiver is in stereo 2 Channel mode, then it’s a continuous push to the left and right channels. Hope that helps and wasn’t too confusing.

Adding an amp to you center channel will take some strain off of your receiver so it can push the other channels easier but it won’t disperse the watts out to among the other channels the way one would think it does so not like an even divide through the other channels .
