Most AVR's only have a line level output for a subwoofer. You will need some type of power amp between the AVR and the subwoofer driver.

Re: Passive in-wall sub????


You should look into setups from the following, all of which have great options

Velodyne
Sonnance
Definitive Tech
Triad
Niles
Earthquake
MTX

All of which require a pretty hefty outboard amp with 250-500w some even more.

Re: Passive in-wall sub????


If you're going to go with an in-wall sub, have you considered a proper "IB" (infinite baffle)? Or is that what you were thinking of doing?
