Bose acoustimass 6 paired with 8" Energy sub???

by tday1969 Oct 24, 2008 11:00AM PDT

hello audiophiles, I am trying to improve my system for movies and music, but I am broke. So heres what I want to do I still have my acoustimass 6 system with the passive sub and single cubes(I know "junk") but I'm stuck with it for now. I can get an 8" Energy sub used for $30.00, not sure what model yet, but I am not sure how well they will work together. I have an Onkyo receiver and it does have a subwoofer pre-out but it's a small one(TX-SR501). Right now I have to run the volume almost maxed for movies, and the receiver gets really warm. I figured it was because the passive sub was sucking up all the available power. So I was hoping I could just let the Accoustimas handle the mid to high, and the Energy sub would handle the lows.

Any input or thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks Terry
