berto Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Is it possible to use the Promedia 4.1 subwoofer with an audio video receiver? Any special cable or adapter available. Basically I am trying to temporarily use my 4.1 system for a home theater. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 so you moved it down south good (i like the smilies) can you answer my question from up north about what kind of receiver and whether it has pre outs and what not? also, if you get teh DD51 from klipsch you can actually improve your receiver, some ppl in the home audio section who do not have a DTS decoder on their receiver has shown great interest in teh DD51 as their decoder. (and would make it really easy to hook up your promedia's ------------------ -justin SoundWise Tech Support I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 or for an RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berto Posted March 12, 2002 Author Share Posted March 12, 2002 Justin, My receiver is a Harman Kardon AVR 120. You can get some details here: http://www.harmankardon.com/product_detail.asp?cat=REC&ser=∏=AVR%20120&sType= I think it's that funky DIN connector on the klipsch subwoofer. Went to Tweeter and they did not know of an adapter and mentioned the DIN seems proprietary. I was just wondering if klipsch had anything that would go from the subwoofer directly to a receiver. Thanks. berto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 well your receiver does not have Preout's so connecting the promedia sat's to it really risks killing the sats... but there is some hope. there is 40 wats per channel at 8ohms, if i had my physics notes i could tell you if it would be safe running it basically at 4ohm, what the equvialent would be. i know anyone in the home audio section would know this. and then to power the sub, you would just use the sub output on the receiver and hook that to a mini mono to rca mono adapter into the receiver and plug the mini stereo end into the front l/f input on the subwoofer. this is not really recommended cause you could blow the sats but it is possible, but wait to do anything till we find out what 8ohms-4ohms 40W - xW ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 or for an RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
