A couple years ago, we got REL subs especially for two channel listening in our showroom. I added just one at home. A T5i to enhance drastically for 2 channel music listening.
Astounding how it can take a pair of bookshelves (2-way speaker, Olympica Nova I’s), and deliver powerful and perfectly blended base for a full 3 way sound. Just the right balance of base. (yes, there is some tuning, but they have excellent videos on their website to help)
By connecting the High level connection of the sub (leave the lfe connections for theater alone), but the high level connection which is done with a speak-on cable that comes with them.
The other end of the cable has the red, yellow & black, all pre-stripped for you. So, if you are using stereo subs , then you connect them to the back of each speaker. Twisting the yellow & red together connected to the + (red) speaker connection, and the black goes to the (black) - side connection.
Then the subs get the same signal as the 2 way bookshelves, and it is perfectly balanced.
If you have just one REL sub , then you connect the red to the plus on the right speaker output on the back of amp and the yellow to the left plus terminal and leave the black wire just floating.
Page 13 of their manual here. Granted, this is with a REL sub, but the transformation to your two channel listening from a processor or a stereo system is absolutely amazing.
