Could someone help me with a home audio question regarding subwoofers?
Ok, I'm an IT guy but I must admit...my knowledge of speakers isn't so great yet. But I am learning!
My question is, is there any subwoofers that I can connect two 200watt 8ohm speakers to bypassing a receiver?
The reason I ask is because I was going to purchase a full system but I'm tight on money now so I'm trying to figure out a way to add a subwoofer to what I already have and then add onto it later. Currently I have a very very old receiver than only has 4 speaker inputs and I'm not sure what the power rating is on it. I currently have two 200 watt JBL speakers hooked into it. It sounds good. But I want to add a sub some how. It needs bass.
My budget is around $400 right now and a receiver by itself is $400.
Any info/tips is appreciated.

well with 200 watt speakers, you should have some bass already unless you dont have a powerful enough reciever. i would go buy a sub that has inputs and outputs. this way power goes into the sub then some back out into the speakers.

80 ounce coaxials are what you want. dont settle for anything less than coaxials----coax will take your setup just fine and wont blow plus will add the bass youre wanting.
if 80s arent available----40 ouncers will work---but i would look for 80 ounce first.
good luck!
