I would just use the pre outs to the sub and leave it at that. Use the subs internal Xover to set filtering. No nee to run cables form sub out back to the receiver.
connecting a sub to Rotel Rx1050
Hey all,
TOTAL newbie here with a question about connecting a sub to my Rotel RX 1050 receiver.
I did some googling and came across this post on another forum but, nobody replied to the guy. would his methods of connecting a sub to the receiver work? which would be the best?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Since this is sticktly a 2 channel receiver for a music only system, the RX 1050 has no subout. It only has a preout/main in loop. There are 3 ways I can hook up my sub to this
1) Use preouts with 2 y-splitters, 2 cables go to sub inputs, 2 go to Main in.
2) Use preouts to sub inputs, and sub outputs to Main in. Requires 4 cables and also my sub has no high pass( whats the point).
3) speaker level connection. ( I sometimes listen without the sub, so rather have a direct connection to speakers, but I guess this would be the easiest of the 3, since i don't need to buy more cable,splitters).
So which connection would you recommend for hooking up the Rotel RX 1050?
