I have a htib setup that I've been fairly happy with so far with one exception....the subwoofer. It does pretty well but I think I'm looking for more from a subwoofer than it can provide. It's a passive subwoofer connected by + - cables receiving all its power from the htib receiver. I was thinking that I might be able to add 2 powered subwoofers as long as I could be sure they wouldn't kill my htib receiver. The powered subwoofers I was looking at were klipsch reference rw-12d and I would need to connect them via the + - terminals. So I figure that my receiver is a 3ohms receiver and the klipsch subs are 8ohm...so if I put 2 of them on that line it should drop that resistance down to 4ohms so would help having 2 of them as far as resistance is concerned...but what I'm not sure about is on the subwoofer side. I realize the klipsch are powered from their own amp but by connecting them via + - terminals..there is still signal being sent and is power being drawn off of the receiver. At least that's what common sense is telling me. Is this correct?...or what advice or option do I have with doing this? The htib I have is samsung htd-6730w..no preouts or line outs for sub just a + - Here is a link for the klipsch sub...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882780078 ...and here is a link for the htib http://www.samsung.com/us/video/home-theater/HT-D6730W/ZA
