hey,
I need some help. I'm pretty new to home theater and I've been getting a lot of mixed advice about this topic. I have a Sony STR-DE595 Receiver (8 ohms), and I had previously bought a 4 ohm subwoofer. After a little while in use the receiver went into protect mode and I had to have it replaced under warranty. I assumed that this occurred because of the sub. I have asked a couple of people at different electronics stores and some tell me that it's alright to use a 4 ohm sub with the receiver, some tell me that it could cause damage. I have recently read about people's setups and i see that some people are using their 8 ohm receiver with 4 ohm subs. So which is it? If I can't use this sub, is there any relatively cheap (
