REL sub setup

If what you care about is music, then use the supplied Neutrik cable connected to the speaker terminals on the amp. The sub will then be getting the exact same signal as the main speakers, which will greatly assist in the integration of the sub.

Thanks guys, that’s what I needed to know. One more question though; it's a bad idea to daisy chain speakers, or run multiple speakers off one amp (I know if you calculate impedance and make sure your not putting too much of a load on the amp it works). Isn't connecting the sub off my amp the same concept? Is the fact the sub has an amp compensation for this? I would then have to assume the sub handles a high watt signal in some fashion before passing it on to it's own internal amp?

What would the advantage be, if any, to connecting the sub via the amp outs on my preamp? My Line 1 does have multiple sets of outs for biamping.

I had thought about how I would connect the sub to a pre/pro when I get back to HT...that's good to know.

Ok, that was more than 1 question, but thanks again for your help and Happy Holidays.

The high level connection has a very high impedance. Your amp won't even know that it's there. For music, this is the best way to go. The sub takes on the characteristics of the amp driving the speakers, therefor you are able to have a more seamless integration.

Thanks hrcapers-

Have you guys heard or have any opinions on REL's q201e sub vs the Storm sub? There is a lot of positive info about the Storm but not too much on the 201.

The Q201E has a small footprint (only 12 inch square). The "Q" subs are more for the Home Theater crowd, but do have the same connections and are quite musical as well. I have demo'd a Q201E at home; great sub considering how small it is. I use an old Q100E in my separate home theater system.

The other advantage for music with the "ST" Mark III subs is the selectable crossover in exact 2dB increments. The Q subs only have the typical knobs with no indication of the exact crossover frequency.
