Could I place a passive speaker (like the Seismic Audio 12 Inch PA DJ Speaker) on the pole mount and have the sub amp run it too?

Yes you can.. just connect your passive speakers to the satellite output on your subwoofer.

Dana - Yes, the Seismic Audio Baby Tremor Powered SubWoofer also has an Amplifier (150watts per channel) that you can run a Passive Speaker(s) through. It has Speakon and Banana Terminals for Satellite Output (Left and Right). So if you get one of the Powered Subs then you can hook to Passive Speakers up to it. Or you can purchase two Subs and hook one Satelite up to each one. I was so impressed after the 1st Sub that I later ordered another one. The Bass Response is FANTASTIC!!!!James Clark, Jr., DJ

In order to use a passive sub you would need a separate power amp, or one of Denon's 7.1 receivers and assign the rear surround amp to the sub output.

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

I'm assuming you're talking about a powered sub. Technically, you could but it'd be cumbersome to setup and highly inefficient. Those bookshelf speakers already have a crossover inside them so you'd lose a lot of power and a bit of fidelity. Are you trying to use a powered sub? Short answer: No. Don't bother.

Yes u can but depends on how u use it im using it as a door speaker amp and well bass control wont apply if ur using subs yeah go ahead

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

It may...by connecting them paralleled to the amp, and installing a passive filter on the output to the 12" sub. The problem with that wiring scenario and 4 ohm speakers is that you will force the amp to run at a lower ohm load than it is supposed to accept. I would not recommend this because even if it worked, it would overheat. Throw a separate bridged mono amp with a capacitor on the sub instead...hope that helps and good luck with it.

There is no direct way to connect a passive Sub-woofer to this AV Receiver. You have a few choice though (and I don't know the exact details of your Kenwoods as there are few models with HTIB). One: you can use an active cross-over on the speaker lines going to the front channels and then use a low pass option to drive your sub (wire the others directly to front) or two: you can purchase a separate monoblock type amplifier to drive the SubWoofer or three: buy an active (powered) subwoofer. Assuming you don't want to replace the Kenwood with an active device, I suggest option two. See here for low-cost options:

There is an input to bypass the amp called "speaker level input" but that would really take away the nice part of this speaker. I would try to get a line level output from the mixer if possible and use the subs power

Wire your speakers normal. But drop the resistance on the sub. It should push it no problem

No, they're not. They're too big to be pole mounted. They can be used on top of sub woofers or by them self.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

The sub being used would need to have RCA inputs(how mine us currently setup). I guess you could rig up a splitter off of one of the speaker inputs. Or if your sub has input/output for speaker wire you could do that too.

The Pyle-Pro PMX802M has powered 1/4" R/L outputs. One could use a direct box to convert the powered signal from the Mixer/AMP to a line signal to connect the Seismic powered subwoofer.

You will need to make your own adapter/mount as it just comes with a guide on where to drill. It's extremely light weight so it wouldn't need much work. Cabling might need to be extended as well, depending on the distance to the amplifier/subwoofer. If you're a DIY then yes, you can do it. If you're expecting an out of the box solution. Then no.

There is room but there is not bracket for it and you would have lots of wires to run. It would best to just get a 4 speaker amp.

I don't believe it will work as part of a surround sound setup. The input is optical and so I don't believe you can setup the amp to output via the optical port the centre speaker.
