Solved! JBL Control SB-2 setup

[demakris]

Hello!
I have an ONKYO TX-NR686 AV Receiver
I want to know if it is possible to connect two JBL Control 5 speakers to a JBL Control SB-2 Sub.
The speakers are 4ohm.
The sub is 8ohm (it says that Nominal Impedance is 8 ohms per input; 4 ohms total with both inputs paralleled).

You are not connecting the speakers to the sub, but the sub and speakers to the Receiver. That Receiver needs a powered sub, so you need an amp for the subs or get powered sub. Since it's separate from the Receiver power to the speakers, the impendence on them does not matter when it comes to the speakers on the receiver.
