I'll start by admitting that I know very little about home audio...
I've purchased an Denon AVR 1610 and a Acoustic Research HD510 5.1 speaker system.
I think I might have made a mistake by running all of my speaker wire before researching or purchasing the above hardware. I ran 12awg to the location for the sub (a 25' run). The receiver has a single RCA type jack for the sub. The sub itself has two (left/right) RCA type jacks for "LINE IN", two RCA's (in/out) for "LFE" and two sets (left/right + -) wire posts for "SPEAKER LEVEL IN".
The manual for the sub describes them as:
Can I make use of the 12awg wire that I've already ran to connect this sub? If not what would be the preferable connection method for this sub/receiver with them being 25' apart?
Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the ignorant question.

The manual for the sub describes them as:
- SPEAKER LEVEL IN (L and R): These terminals are used for making
connections with speaker wire. - LFE IN: LFE (Low Frequency Effects) inputs are used to carry additional
low-bass information from a Dolby Digital source. Use the 90° RCA adaptors
(included) to connect the LFE output from the receiver. - LFE OUT: This output is internally connected to the LFE input. Use the
90° RCA adaptors (included) to connect an additional AR subwoofer. The
type of connection is often called a “daisy chain.” - LINE IN (L and R): These connections are used for bass audio signals
when an LFE input is not available. Use the 90° RCA adaptors (included)
for these connections.
