How about adding 31031 (sub with 3inch satellites) to the existing 4104 pair? Series or parallel connection for the two pairs?
Thanks again!

I assume your amp will support a 4Ω load. The Aria sub has 2 inputs, left & right. Both are 8Ω. The 4104 are also 8Ω. You can run 1x 4104 and one side of the sub in parallel, run the other 4104 to the other side of the Aria sub. Your amp will see a 4Ω load on each channel. Wiring speaker in series is generally a bad idea. The wiring is messy and lose a lot of power, this config will show as a 16Ω load to the amp cutting the power at least in half and then splitting that in half to the 2 speakers.
The satellite output from the sub will support up to an 8Ω load, the 3" satellites are 16Ω. The satellite load will not effect your amp so you get full power to the sub.
If you run the 4104 first they will see full range signal. If you run them from the satellite our of the sub they will only see 250Hz and above.

I am driving via a mono amplifier. Can I use only one input to drive this subwoofer?

BEST ANSWER: You can but you will only get half of it potential. If your mono channel can drive a 4Ω load you can run 2 lines from the amp to both inputs

This item would need to be connected to a sub woofer port on an AV receiver or amplifier if you wanted to get the right frequencies out of it.

BEST ANSWER: No, this speaker is too deep to fit in walls. You can modify you mount it in position with spacers to allow the speaker to fit in the wall. If it does not leak air it will performing according to the specs.

My AVR has Speaker-A and Speaker-B terminals, both stereo (L/R). It also has a Bi-Amp feature with both those sets of terminals. Could I possibly use those terminals (all 4) to power 2 of these speakers, with both tweeters on both speakers enabled? Also, I would like to add the 31032 subwoofer to my setup, with the 31032 and the 4619's running independent of each other. Is this possible? Please advise.

BEST ANSWER: You can enable the Bi-Amp mode on your AVR. From the A/B terminals labeled High you can run two cables from each L/R Out to each of the Aria speakers L/R inputs. The other A/B Terminal labeled Low run one set of cables from the L/R out to the L/R inputs of the sub.

Greetings Dave, from your recent response to my latest question, you said: "You can enable the Bi-Amp mode on your AVR. From the A/B terminals labeled High you can run two cables from each L/R Out to each of the Aria speakers L/R inputs. The other A/B Terminal labeled Low run one set of cables from the L/R out to the L/R inputs of the sub."
There are 2 sets of speaker inputs on the sub. I have 5 questions:
1) which inputs from the Aria speakers should be used on the sub?
2) what about the 2nd set of inputs? Should those be routed to an amp?
3) Is the sub still going to be powered by a separate amp?
4) Can I also bi-amp the Aria speakers, and then power the sub separately by feeding it directly to an amp for line-out from the AVR?
5) Assuming the answer to #4 is yes, which Monoprice amp would you recommend?
Thanks!!

Thanks for the replies, Dave. So no amp whatosever will be needed to power this Sub? BTW, my AVR is aSony STR-DN2010. Just want to make sure I have enough juice to power everything, and that it will sound good. Thanks again.
So, I looked through al 152 pages of your manual. I do not see a whole lot of control by using the bi-Amp mode. I was hoping to see where you could control crossover frequency and hi/low level. I guess they are assuming the auto-calibration will do whatever you need. I do not thimnk the bi-amp mode will work the way you want it to. The x-over looks like it will be set for tweeter to woofer which means it will be set around 2.2K - 5K. Your system will not sound good. I think you will need to use a separate amp to the sub. You will want to set the Main speaker as Small so it does the x-over around 90Hz - 150Hz. Take the RCA Suwoofer out and get the Unity 200-Watt Bridgeable amp, 18514. Plug into the right input, take another RCA from the right output to the left input (I know it sounds janky, but it works). Run Left/Right speaker outs to the sub's Left/Right inputs.

I would like to pair these 35750 Sycamore 8" 3-way with 31032 (Or other dedicated passive in-ceiling bass if there are any!). I plan to use a new Sonos Amp. This will be a primary, but non-critical listening zone. I want detail and some thump, hence this combo. Please advise! Will this work?

BEST ANSWER: It depends on how many Ohms your amplifier is comfortable with driving. I'm driving three of these in parallel on a Amp that can handle a 2 Ohm load. You would likely be best off looking up a speaker impedience calculator and finding a solution.

BEST ANSWER: I see no problem using these as Zone 2 with your AVR. The combination of this with a sub should also not be an issue. The limited frequency response of the sub should not result in a tonal mis-match with the full range spkrs.

I have 4 questions
Question (01) will this sub work good with a oír of Monoprice Alpha In-Ceiling Speakers 6.5in Carbon Fiber 2-Way that I purchased ?
Question (02) will this sub be able to thump or rattle? Assuming I’m pushing the right amp and speaker wires .. even though it’s in the ceiling can I hear the bass?
Question (03) I see that it has 4 speaker connectors do I just connect it to one left and right connector? I’m thinking the other two connectors is to bridge the speakers to another subwoofer
Thank you in advanced I just need this useful information in order for me to pull the trigger and purchase it already
