    It's not because your receiver is not good enough.....I would check the RCA - what kind of RCA are you using? Double check the connection in the back of the sub - make sure it's connected properly. Also check the sub gain on your receiver.

    I have the Onkyo TX-SR806 and my PSW125 slams!! Your receiver shouldn't make that much of a difference in this equation since it is a self powered sub?? I may be wrong in my thinking, but that is how I see it. I ran my current setup (see signature) with my old Onkyo HTIB receiver, and it worked just fine. I had mine hooked up with a Rocketfish subwoofer cable and had no problems. My old receiver wasn't much different cosmetically from the one you have, but I think it pushed out somewhere around 120 watts per channel, not sure that would make a difference though, hopefully someone with a little more knowledge can give you a better answer. Or like Leroy said in the other thread, check your settings on your Receiver.
