Correct again. I'm sorry. I'm thinking of my powered subs and the way they are triggered by incoming signal.

Yup. Buy a two channel amp, or a powered subwoofer.

Is your old Receiver dead-dead or can it still work?

Already at the dump. Pretty sure the 2 inputs on the sub were for the left and right front speaker connections. The company I bought it off of came out and showed me how to hook it up. Maybe it’s been wrong forever.

Being practical, i’d say you better consider how big a difference your sub made and if it is worth replacing it with a new self powered unit as most AVR now expect.

Consider how efficient are your Mains and if they will noticeably benefit from a sub. Most Subs only cover a fraction of the LF spectrum.

Most likely, if you tell your new AVR that there is no Sub, it will send that signal to your Mains. Low frequencies being omnidirectional, it doesn’t matter where they come from.

You can always add a Sub at a latter date.

I've had my Pioneer Andrew Jones SW-8MK2 since '16. It's no longer available but the recommendation looks just like it with improvements. It's probably a choice between the price of a sub or amp.

I'm in the "just buy a new powered sub" club. And two are definitely better than one, but it all depends on your budget. I'm big on buying used gear for that reason.

A lot of activity on this thread already but I would say you could do better than that sub.
I repurposed an Ohm N2 sub from my days at the AV store to the garage, it was passive and I use one of those cheap but decent Chicom Class D Sub amps.

And you can do the same but you have two inputs on the sub, like mentioned you can connect to both inputs but need to determine the impedance to know how to wire it.
If each are 4 ohm ~ I would wire in series, if each are 8 ohm ~ I would wire in parallel.

However, noting the quality of the sub and the inexpensive solutions for a stand alone sub, I am in agreement that it would be advisable to look at that.
Get a new sub to go with your new receiver.

Everyone was right, the Pioneer sub had 2 speakers
each at 4 ohms, with my 8 ohm mains I would need to wire in a series, only 3.2 oms in parallel. In addition one of the channels was dead, its now at the dump. Was looking at a new powered sub the SVS PB3000. Anyone have any experience with SVS? Other suggestions would be appreciated.

SVS is well known for great subs.
Been considering the SB3000 myself, sealed version not the ported one.

You will absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that SVS sub! Great products, and the specs bear that out. (The online reviews also) I’ve been using them for many, many years and have been quite happy. My main sub (I have several systems) blows away all my guests. You will not be disappointed, provided you properly calibrate it.

SVS is great for that type of sub you linked. I have a Monoprice Monolith that’s similar just a smaller version. They’re both on another level from what most people are used to.

SVS is in Ohio too.

Yes they are in Ohio, just a couple miles North of where I am sitting now. Manufactured in China though, at least that is my understanding. Only problem is it weighs 90 pounds. I worry about carriers damaging it due to the weight.

Can you drive up and get it yourself, don't trust it to the carriers!

Then again if it made it ok all the way from Chi-nah! it should make it to you!

I bought a SVS sub that weighed 175 pounds. When it was shipped to me, it was on a pallet, strapped down, carefully packed by SVS. A freight truck with a liftgate delivered it, and brought it into the house. I unpacked it, which was easy, because the way SVS packs it, everything lifts off from the top. Once unpacked, I just slid it into place. It was packed perfectly, and was a as very easy. This particular sub is huge, it has a futniture quality rosewood finish on it, and it was flawless.

I'll have to look into going up and picking it up. Normally with items like this I order delivered to a local Best Buy. Then I can see and open it at the store and check for damage.
