Hi everyone,

I've had issues with my S750 set up for some time now and tried to get a local repair (I'm in Muscat, Oman). Long story short is I can't get it repaired locally and have zero expertise in this so I am going to try to make the best of what I have.

Is it possible to use the subwoofer on its own and scrap the amp part of the unit inside? Basically I would like to use the subwoofer in the same way as a stand alone satellite speaker but have the following questions.

1 - Is it possible to have a direct line to the subwoofer of 8ohms? This is the question I was asked by the guy who will be working on this for me. I don't have any technical knowledge so please give as simple an answer as possible - thanks.

2 - Would I need to power the subwoofer if I'm only using it as a satellite speaker?

3 - I will be buying a separate amp, Onkyo TX-SR444 7.1 - Channel A/V Receiver. Will this be sufficient for the job?

I'm loathed to throw the S-750 away because the speakers are great it's just crap components inside the subwoofer/amp part that ruins a really good speaker system.

Thanks for your help in advance and apologies for my almost complete lack of knowledge.
