Best Connection Method for a Sub(s)


Quick question: For two channel audio what is the best way to hook up a subwoofer(s)? Using line level outputs (such as from a DAC or other line level source) or connect the subwoofer to the high level amp outputs and use the high level inputs on the sub? I would be using the EQ in the sub. I think I know but want advice from those with more experience then me. Thank you.

When I purchased my first sub I used the high level inputs because it seemed to be everyones recommend method, but just for fun one day I tried to the line level connection and found it to be a better way to go. I found the sound to be a little more coherent.

If you are new to subs you may find some good information in this white paper.
