Is it possible to hook a car subwoofer with inbuilt 80W/400W amplifier to a sony str-de497 home amplifier. Im pretty new to the whole audio thing so please explain it as simple as possible
Yes it is. Im guessing it has some sort of volume control? If it does, simply use that as you normally would, just be careful not to put the str-de497 up with the sub (volume). If it does not have a volume control, which is highly unlikly, you could get a potentiometer to be safe, or use with caution. Best chances are to hook it up on the B channel, and the others to the A. Im not to sure about the sony str-de497, so use this at your own risk.
