Subwoofer Out VS Subwoofer Crossover
I have been running a sub for many years now. I string the speaker cables to the sub and then out of the sub to the speakers. The sub maintains a crossover dial/adjuster. I’m now buying a new integrated amp (Yamaha 701). It has a dedicated rca sub out channel. If I use the sub out, I won’t have a crossover control. Should a still string the speaker outs to the sub and ignore the sub out if I want crossover control? Is one better than the other. I like my crossover control.
Thank you.

Given the new information I agree with @gdaddy1. I would set the system up without the subwoofer running the speakers full range. If you use the system for video also you could try the subwoofer via the RCA input when doing so. Value of this approach would depend on how low one can set the subwoofer crossover. Set the crossover to lowest setting. You would likely find yourself sub turning the subwoofer off for music, maybe not using it at all.. |
