Hooking up a subwoofer (1 Viewer)

[perrin]

I am considering in buying the Denon 2802, and I am curious how you hooking up a subwoofer on this receiver. I have looked at the back of this receiver, but all I see is a space for the preout. Do I need an amplifier to do this?
Thanks

Yes, you'll need to use an amplifier. The amp could be built into the subwoofer(a.k.a. *powered subwoofer*)...or it could be a seperate/external amplifier dedicated for subwoofer usage(like HSU does).

Yes, you need to buy a powered sub or buy an external amp for a passive sub. Most receivers only have a preout for the sub. In fact I do not know of any receivers that have an internal amp for the sub. I believe there are some separates that include an extra amp channel for the sub.

Technics used to sell receivers with a built-in subwoofer amp. I think they also sold a passive subwoofer to use with it. I believe these were Pro-logic only receivers or maybe DD-ready.
