What is the Paradigm Sub's full model #?
I would like to know the sub's options if any. The sub's 3.5mm male: is it mono, or stereo? Is it possible that the sub's 3.5mm is actually part of a cable that has been connected to the sub (thus removable?)
Main speaker's model #?

Are you
#1. simply adding an independent self-powered sub to your system? amp (in your receiver) still boosts ALL frequencies, and main speakers still reproduce ALL frequencies.
or
#2. are you going out to the sub first, using the sub's crossover, sub's amp takes the low bass; sub sends upper bass, mids, highs back to receiver (via receiver's 'main in'?). This removes the need for the receiver's amp to boost lows and the main speakers to reproduce low bass.

That Luxman has quite a few options (more than most) to go 'line level' out to a sub. all rca jacks, all pairs L and R.
two pre-outs:
a. upper pre out to sub (no removable jumpers) (for #1 above)
b. lower pre-out (remove jumpers), pre-out to sub, then after sub's crossover back to receiver's 'main in'. (for #2 above).
b. tape loop out/back in
c. signal processor loop out/in.

Yes you can combine a pair of RCA to a 3.5mm stereo female, then insert the sub's 3.5mm stereo male (if it is stereo male).

However, is the sub's 3.5mm mono (1 black stripe) or stereo (2 black stripes)? (l & r would be converted to mono inside the sub)
