Hi guys,

I am pretty new to the speaker and sound thing. I always loved listening to music and only had a crappy box sony set. I got an internship this year which paid way better than a normal summer job so I finally bought a nicer pair speakers as well as got a pair of hand me downs from the folks. I also got a HK 146 for $132 and like it alot but it isn't the most powerful guy on the block.

So the question is.... I don't know much about buying and useing amps for interior use. Can you hook up an amp to a reciever like the HK146 and have it just give extra juice to the 4 speakers I have or how does and amp really work?

Definately a noob questions but I figured you guys would have a good answer

    You can't use separate amplification with your receiver as it doesn't have preouts to do so.

    Receivers that do include preouts are much more expensive.
