Do I plug my subwoofer power cord into my reciever ac outlet or straight into the wall? I know this is a dumb question, but since I don't know the answer I figured it was worth asking.

    Don't plug it into your receiver. Plug it into the wall if you don't have a power center/conditioner.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    Your subwoofer will pull alot of current. I would not recommend plugging it into the AVR. As mentioned - plug it straight into the wall or into a power center or conditioner.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
