Since this is sticktly a 2 channel receiver for a music only system, the RX 1050 has no subout. It only has a preout/main in loop. There are 3 ways I can hook up my sub to this
1) Use preouts with 2 y-splitters, 2 cables go to sub inputs, 2 go to Main in.
2) Use preouts to sub inputs, and sub outputs to Main in. Requires 4 cables and also my sub has no high pass( whats the point).
3) speaker level connection. ( I sometimes listen without the sub, so rather have a direct connection to speakers, but I guess this would be the easiest of the 3, since i don't need to buy more cable,splitters).
So which connection would you recommend for hooking up the Rotel RX 1050?
