If your sub also has RCA inputs (you didn't say) I think you'd be better off just running a pair of single ended ICs from your RCA preamp out to the sub, and save the XLR connections for your power amp. That's what I do and it's just fine.
Subwoofer connection
Hello,
I just got a new sub that has XLR connectors for Right and Left.
My preamp has one pair of balanced XLR outputs and one pair of unbalanced RCA outputs. My poweramp has one set of balanced XLR inputs.
What's the BEST way to setup this sub?
I was thinking a pair of XLR Y-splitters to split the signal coming out of the pre XLR connectors sending two cables to the sub and two to the power amp; not using the rca outs of the preamp at all.
thanks for any info.
