Thanx for all the responses. Now i understood what is active and passive sub, mine is passive, and to use with my reciever i need an active sub. I was reading on Cnet about connecting subin this situation
""""Step 3:
Make the right connections
Subwoofers' connection schemes vary; some have just one input, while others separate left and right RCA jacks. In most cases, however, you'll just need to run one cable from your receiver's sub-out jack to the subwoofer. If your sub has direct or bypass inputs--or a switch labeled Bypass--we recommend using those connectors or that switch.
Tip
If your sub doesn't have a bypass or direct input, raise the sub's variable crossover filter control to its highest setting. That might be somewhere around 150Hz to 200Hz.
We strongly recommend the above hookup technique, but if your receiver lacks a subwoofer output and your subwoofer has speaker-level inputs, hook up them to your receiver's front right and left speaker terminals, just as you would with the speaker's connections. [Take care not to reverse the plus (+) and minus (-) connections on the subwoofer and receiver.] This hookup method will require doubling up the wires on the receiver's connectors, so you'll wind up with two wires on the red (+) and another two on the black (-) left and right connectors. Alternatively, if your receiver has A and B connectors and you're not using the Bs, go ahead and hook up the sub cable to the B connectors. Just remember to turn on the B speakers, or the sub won't make any sound.

Is this an alternate and safe solution? Would u guys recommend it or should I get an active sub in the range of 100W-150W?
What is the quality wise difference between a sattelite and regular size speakers beside space saving.
thanx
