I am trying to figure out a way to connect my speakers directly to a receiver so that I don't have to get up each time I want to adjust the volume.

These are the speaker specs: http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/specs/amr70/

Apparently, I can get 40 watts out of them, and I would like to use them like we use our RM series and the PW sub through the receiver. :D

The odd thing is, there is absolutely no way to connect these speakers without the sub, because the sub has the amp. :mad: Actually, the left speaker has the cable where I can connect it as a regular speaker :eek:.

Does anybody know if I can connect this to a receiver??

One more thing, it takes a 3mm headphone jack/computer audio jack input. (which would be the reason for this whole post)... :(

    What about getting an adapter and running it off the headphone jack?

    Yeah, that was what I figured I would do, but I ran the left speaker through our amp and it sounds awesome!! ...

    So yeah, that's what Im gonna do...

    Yah think I'm a loose any sound quality doing that though?? Like I won't get true 2.1 surround off of DVD's right?

    THAT I don't know. Maybe someone else could chime in on that.

    When I run these speakers through the headphone jack, I will only get the volume up to where it is on my speaker, right?

    I.E. If I have the volume up to half on the right speaker, I can only use the receiver/amp to get the volume up to half, right? Or will I be able to get the volume running w/o the amp volume on the sub...

    Ok, instead of newb questions, here's a real question...

    I have the root cables for all the speakers, I had to take apart the connection board, but now I have the actual red+black connectors...

    How do I know how much I can put into these speakers in watts? If I use an amp will I blow these speakers, or should they be alright if I just keep the volume low?
