I know this is a pretty dumb question...
I am installing "surround sound" in my basement as I am finishing it. I bought a very basic 7.2 receiver
(Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel) because it was on sale. I also bought a variety of in wall speakers (1 center, two front, two rear, and one sub).
My question is related to the subwoofer. The sub that I bought is a passive speaker. I have since learned that the sub channels are not powered (Yeah, I know) so I was wondering if there was either a simple way to convert the signal to a powered signal that will work with the sub or... I was wondering if I could use the "surround back/bi-amp/front high/front b" channel on the passive subwoofer... or am I just SOL and I should just break down and buy a real powered sub.
I don't need super high quality, won't be listening to music, just want decent surround sound for movies.
Thanks all!
