Friend of mine has just finished a renovation in a bar he owns and finds himself in possession of a pair of passive sub-woofers.
He'd like to integrate them into his modest HT 5.1 Yamaha-based system and he's asked me how to best handle this.
This is all fine but I'm primarily a 2 channel guy and although I have an HT system of sorts my only experience with low frequency drivers is with my powered sub that just plugs in and does its thing.
He'd like to integrate these subs with his rear speakers and I don't have clue one about how to handle any of this.
But I promised I'd try to find out and you guys and gals are the HT folks.TIA

Follow Ups:
Why would he want to intregrate the subs with the rear channels? Are the front speakers full range? If he does indeed want to cross them over with his rear speakers, all he would need is to install a low pass/hi-pass crossover, connecting the subs to the low pass network and the rear speakers to the hi-pass output of the crossover. This will be a passive set up and the rear amplifiers of his avr will be powering the subs and rear speakers. Then he set the rear speakers to LARGE in the avr speaker menu set up.
Such passive crossover networks are available from places like Parts express.
If he has a 5.1 system, the ".1" is the LFE channel, which is the sub output on the receiver. Maybe he can get a good deal on a high wattage stereo pro power amp, to drive them. Use a Y connecter out of the sub output of the receiver to the amp, unless there already is two outputs.
