a car woofer with your surround?

I have a 15inch Memphis woofer that im going to be putting in my house. I want to run it on my surround, vr-407 kenwood. The problem is that it only has the black outputs to goto another amp. I think this is digital some units have analog you know - + I was wondering if it were possible to hook this up another way on this unit and still get all my lows and 5 other speakers?I love sound

You will need a home subwoofer amplifier for your subwoofer, the receiver will not power it.  Does that receiver have a subwoofer line-level (RCA) output?Support the12volt.com

It has a single subwoofer rca output (color coated black)I love sound

There is nothing digital about your subwoofer output.  It is black and has only one jack because it is a mono output.  Some units do have a stereo output.  I think you were referring to a red and white RCA when you said + & -.  If you have an old stereo reciever laying around, you can use that as an amplifier for your subwoofer.  Simply connect the black jack on the back of your surround receiver to the left CD input of the reciever you plan to use as an amp.  Connect your woofer to the left channel of the A speaker terminals.  The Memphis woofer, is it single or dual voice coil?   What is the impedance of the coil(s)?

2 x 2 are the coils ima drop it to 4 my stereo is stable at 8 and 4I love sound

I have no idea what you mean... but it is not a good idea to power your sub from the amps in your receiver.

The sub has 2 coils each at 2 ohm. Im going to bridge it to 4. I have a home amp that im going to put to it. Your saying that I should not do this?I love sound

If the receiver you have laying around has  a problem with the 4 ohm load, it will let you know.  Some older units were not stable into a 4 ohm load, but they did have some awesome protection circuitry that would shut it down if it saw a problem. 

If you have a little money setting around you could use a amplifier which works all the way down to 2ohm per channel. Like this crown amp for an example. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Crown-XLS-202D-Power-Amplifier-103635520-i1145680.gc This is only an example. Im sure there are better places to buy. Maybe this will help put you on the right path though.

I tryed that and it did not work???? The old stereo I have the receiver is separate from the amplifier. I could not get it to work what am I doing wrong. I rn the mono bass out into the right cd input. Then I have a front and rear output that goes to the amp I did that with just the right channel. And I tried ever speaker output does not work.I love sound
