REL sub setup

I am looking at subs and REL seems highly recommended for music which is my only concern. I am a little confused about setup. What is the Neutrix connector? Is the best way to set up my 2 channel system (using a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 pre) to buy a y splitter and run the second pair of outs to the sub input using an interconnect designed for low frequency signals or a standard high quality IC (I would need roughly a 15 foot run)?

Thanks.

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.

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.
