So that 'receiver ' is actually a stereo amplifier? Or was......?
What's your budget?

Thanks for your fast reply!

STEREO AMPLIFIER
You're right if you say it is a stereo amplifier. My knowledge is very low.

PRICE
Im thinking of buying a used one for 100-250 dollar. It does not have to be something fancy.

SUBWOOFER
The subwoofer does not have a power source.

Is that common?

The subwoofer is not my speciality.
How was it connected to that receiver?
Some you simply wire into the amps speaker connection.
 
This is what the subwoofer looks like on the back. You connect the speakers with audio cables to the subwoofer and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
