Subwoofer Settings

God Almighty...googling a speaker question you need to be a freaking mathematician.

I could use some help. Just to get me started, from a 2 channel amp should I connect to the sub using low pass or high pass RCA connection? Should I be using 1 or 2 cables?

As a starting point where should the crossover be?

I got this from the quick start guide. You'll get it...

Preamp output on the preamp, to the low level input on the sub.
Flip the switch from LTE to the other side. Use two, RCAs L/R
Start at 80 hz or so. The higher you go the more boom in the room.
This is a sub... Use it that way 60-80 or lower...

The REL website has some excellent videos (on YouTube also) that explain and walks you through most subwoofer questions. Highly recommended!

You can set it up, get it going, be happy,

However, there are (not math) operational considerations, and as you have/will see, not everyone agrees.

Decisions for a sub for an AV system are different than the more critical use of sub(s) in a 2 way system like you are doing.
