Quick question: Can I add an passive subwoofer to my existing setup?

Schizophonic · 24 Dec 2023 at 13:29

I have acquired an passive sub woofer and I want to add it to my existing home cinema setup.

I have a Denon AVR-X1700H (https://www.denon.com/en-gb/product/av-receivers/avr-x1700h/AVRX1700HGB.html)

I already have an active sub setup running 5.1.2 setup. I was wondering can I use it for 5.2.2 setup? If so how would I connect it up as it has the following connection?

Having a further read on google, I was also given an external amp. Would it be best recommended to have this connected up and then it hooks up to my main AV amp?

Thank you, it was offered free to me from a family's clear out. Looks like I'll put it back into storage.

No both subs I have are not identical. I do have a separate amplifier.
So I best leaving it then?
