Hi. I'm moving in to a new place and wanted to buy a receiver and speakers.

Having a limited budget (around 1000$) and not wanting to settle for a cheap home-theatre-in-a-box, I had to ponder wether to get a cheap receiver with two good speakers for a stereo setup, or a good receiver with cheap speakers for a 5.1 setup.

Realizing that I was doing this mainly to enjoy 5.1 sound, I decided to go along with the good receiver/cheap speakers idea... I'll upgrade the speakers later when I have the budget for them.

So I went ahead and bought a Yamaha HTR-6060 hdmi receiver.

Looking for speakers, I stumbled upon a deal and bought from somebody the Yamaha 5.1 speakers kit that comes along with their entry level receivers for a mere 70$.

Everything is swell, except for the subwoofer... I didn't notice it, but the one included in the kit I bought is a passive sub... and there's only a pre-out for an active sub on the HTR-6060...

Will I have to buy an active sub or could I hookup the passive sub to my front channels along with the two bookshelves speakers without fear of blowing something up ?
