$118 factory refurbished. I have this amp. Other than the spring clips to install speaker wire it's a good stereo amp that's accurate and has the signature Yamaha warmth. Class AB.
Only omission is a subwoofer out but for $150, it's a good stereo amp.

if your sub has a speaker level output, then you can connect sub to this receiver and then connect your speakers to that sub

This is fine for a modest 2 channel setup in a small room, but it definitely IS NOT 100 watts per channel. Audio manufacturer's have long played fast and loose with their power ratings and Yamaha is no exception. This is probably closer to 75 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 20 - 20,000 Hz. The owners manual lists 100 watts per channel, 8 ohms, 40 - 20,000 Hz, 0.2% THD.

The owners manual lists 100 watts per channel, 8 ohms, 40 - 20,000 Hz, 0.2% THD.
Back when I cared about/invested in aftermarket car audio I would call those power ratings "Jensen Watts", and there were always way more of those watts claimed than would ever show up to work. The last time I put money into a car stereo I had two amps in it rated in home audio terms at 22wpc and 35wpc... plenty enough to play loud, VERY loud, and cleanly. But if they were Jensen amps I guarantee they'd be rated at 100w and 150w respectively, but at 9% THD, if indeed they would supply a THD at all. Yamaha is guilty of this on its lower-priced home stuff but when you move up the range price-wise the specs stop showing Jensen Watts.

The 0.2% THD in the specs doesn't even tell the whole story. Yamaha's own R-N2000A stereo receiver is rated at "only" 90wpc (with lower distortion) but costs $4,000 and because the internals are quite different weighs 50 pounds (vs. 15). To the uninitiated it may look like the 202 is better because it has more power.

How do you calculate the 75w from the frequency response?

You mean a high school kid would have blown past the $150 retail price target of Yamahas most entry level model?

Some people just don't feel like a need for a sub. In some rooms with the right speakers, you won't need a sub.

Get an AV receiver if you want sub out and digital inputs and outputs. This is a very entry level stereo receiver.

yo... however... even the sub brought to the party needs to be like a 100 watt basic boom box.

anything decent wattage, say a $500+ sub, this S202 probab cant power it nicely along with a pair of speakers as well.
