AVR sub out to 2.1 stereo in

[Krishroy2004]

@Krishroy2004 I could not find any info on the above speakers. So i am guessing a bit. If the system has an amp built into the subwoofer and powers the 2 speakers, i would be careful about going and plugging the same speakers in the Yamaha. These speakers usually have very low impedences and also have very low power handling capacity like 10 watts or so. The amp might just fry the speakers or the speakers might in return damage the avr.
I could be completely wrong about this.
If you can provide some specs of the 2.1 model, we can dig a bit deeper.

The 2.1 system I use with my mobile to play music. It has a built-in amp, I can't remember the watts. I only want to use the Sub temporarily.

Yesterday I connect my AVR sub out through an RCA Y spliter to my 2.1 speakers. after some minor tweaking, it blends with the music perfectly.
Didn't check this with movies but for music I can use this until I get a new sub.

Good for you....

Typically these subs perform as low as 80hz or 60hz in some cases depending on the subwoofer driver size.........it will suffice for music....for movies...dont expect a WOW experience unless the driver (sub speaker) is big....

It's a 5" driver and it's doing good with music, I am using very small speakers for the front (L+R). Wating for my Boston A26 to arrive.

One more thing I want to know...
My Sony BDV3100 HTIB has a 8" passive sub which I want to use for movies. Sony BDV3100 has a RCA stereo in jack. If I connect my AVR sub out to Sony stereo in for passive sub use only, will this work?

Typically more or less the same thing......

You need to be a little careful on the volume bit of the Sony.....although it is not recommended...you can try at low volumes (at your risk) and increase the volume accordingly slowly to a point where you think its conservative and just right

Thanks, I will try this with low volume on Sony. What will happen when I increase the volume on AVR, will there be more stress on Sony?

Supposedly yes...hence you need to be careful.....If i were you.....i would stick to using the 2.1 for now.....else would speed up investing in a proper subwoofer
