Dayton Audio"APA150" 150W stereo amplifier APA150

Q: Can these be connected to a reciever, if so how?

Yes they can. Think of your receiver as two parts: one part is a pre-amp/video processor and the other is an amplifier(s). So you can use a few of these APA 150s and connect them to the PRE-OUTs on the back of your receiver. Depending on your model you should have at least six connections(for 5.1) or more if you have 7 or 9 channel audio. Use the appropriate pre-out for the speakers you want to amplify with the Dayton APA. You could start with Front L&R and then do Center, and so on. Then connect your speakers to the APA and your all set. FYI many say this makes a fine subwoofer amp so you can use it for the sub pre-out as well if you have a passive sub or want to up the power to an amplified sub. Good luck!

Q: Does anyone make an amp like this with a subwoofer out?

Check out the Parasound ZoneMaster 2 or ZoneMaster 2350. Both have subwoofer outputs.

Q: Does the fan work intermittently? My amp works but do not see the fan moving

The fan only operates when the internal temperature of the Dayton APA150 reaches a high enough level to damage its circuitry. In my experience this amplifier runs warm after an hour or so at fairly high volume levels, however never hot. I use the APA150 to power some high quality bookshelf speakers ranging in sensitivity from about 83db@1watt to 88db@1watt. To the person who says that the APA150 does not have a fan, I don't believe that this amplifier was ever manufactured without a fan. It has been in constant production since about 2008. The APA150 is a great amp for the money offering the flexibility of an integrated amplifier, or a dedicated preamplifier that can be used with an external active preamplifier (active meaning that the preamplifier has its own power supply - either within its own chassis or external to the preamp).

Q: Could you stream directly to this amplifier using the Chrome audio casting device?

I am streaming to this amp from an apple extreme feeding from my iphone. requires a cable with RCA male plugs on the end. I plug into the extreme with a mini stereo plug.
