Wow, that's a heck of a good price!

What kind of impedance do the speaker level inputs on a sub like that have?
I have a pair of speakers on an older HK HT receiver at home that all the DSP is burned out. Only the left/right front channels work. No subwoofer out, either. Still sounds great, though.
I'm wondering if I couldn't wire the S10.3 in series with the speakers themselves into the L/R channel outputs?

Save your money a bit longer and get a sub capable of decent 20hz playback.

Sounds like you might have too much high end gear and have lost perspective. Saving up from $170 to $500 is more than a "bit longer" for some people, and more than a "bit" more than they want to spend.

agreed to a point, but saving up $300 for a Klipsch RW-12D isn't too much for anyone paying $200. And the Klipsch is pretty flat to 22hz. Most any enthusiast who buys $200 sub is in the upgrade race in short order. Many folk who buy a 500-700 sub are content for years!
BIG difference.

cel4145,
I don't agree.
Here's how it boils out in my mind.
Average Joe enthusiast buys a $200 sub, (or even a normal price $300 sub) They are 'happy" to have the 'improvement' in sound for about a year, but from the get go they've heard better at the theater, at a friends house, whatever. Depending on their personality or interest they already know they will likely need or want to upgrade at some point.
Average Joe enthusiast buys a $500-$700 sub (heavily weighted towards the $700 side). Average Joe is very impressed. They've likely never heard better in a theater, or at a friends house. They are satisfied until they update the rest of their system or hear better. Often times this takes years for an upgrade, if ever. By the way, the Klipsch RW-12D has been on sale about every other week or two for $300 - $350 dollars at newegg for nearly the last year. It was a $700 sub and was middle of the pack when compared directly with other $700 subs in 2005 in the sound and vision shootout when compared to SVS, Velodyne, HSU, and Outlaw competitors -- all very respectable competitors.
I count myself among the many who followed the cheap sub to nice sub upgrade path. For a long time around here there used to be guys who advised skipping the cheapies and doing it 'right' the first time. I now fall among those ranks. The evidence is easily seen if you think about it. Thread after thread after thread.
