My AVR is the Emotiva Fusion 8100 and has both Subwoofer Balanced XLR out puts and the traditional RCA it seems. My sub is am HSU VTF-2 MK2 with a Dayton amp. Here are the links to my products, which cable should I be using?

I'd use the SUB output in the 7.1 OUT section of RCA terminals.

Anyone else?

You don't have XLR inputs on the sub amp, so use the RCA.

Like ransac says, doesn't appear you have any choice since the amp doesn't have an XLR input.

You don't have XLR inputs on the sub amp, so use the RCA.

+1. Balanced (XLR) transmission works better, but your amp doesn't seem to have that option. It might, if one of the RCA inputs is inverting and the other is non-inverting, and if that's the case you could rig it for balanced operation. But without a schematic of the amp one can't say if that's the case.

Similar questions. I have a processor with only rca's for amp. My amp has both rca and xlr connections. If I use mogami rca-xlr converters, will this take advantage of the balanced inputs on the amp. Is there any negative outcome to this?
