REL sub setup


I am looking at subs and REL seems highly recommended for music which is my only concern. I am a little confused about setup. What is the Neutrix connector? Is the best way to set up my 2 channel system (using a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 pre) to buy a y splitter and run the second pair of outs to the sub input using an interconnect designed for low frequency signals or a standard high quality IC (I would need roughly a 15 foot run)?

Thanks.

Thanks guys, that’s what I needed to know. One more question though; it's a bad idea to daisy chain speakers, or run multiple speakers off one amp (I know if you calculate impedance and make sure your not putting too much of a load on the amp it works). Isn't connecting the sub off my amp the same concept? Is the fact the sub has an amp compensation for this? I would then have to assume the sub handles a high watt signal in some fashion before passing it on to it's own internal amp?

What would the advantage be, if any, to connecting the sub via the amp outs on my preamp? My Line 1 does have multiple sets of outs for biamping.

I had thought about how I would connect the sub to a pre/pro when I get back to HT...that's good to know.

Ok, that was more than 1 question, but thanks again for your help and Happy Holidays.

Thanks hrcapers-

Have you guys heard or have any opinions on REL's q201e sub vs the Storm sub? There is a lot of positive info about the Storm but not too much on the 201.

Correct me if I'm wrong Jrwr7, but those independant knobs allow you to set the phase control for the different inputs independently, so when it auto switches inputs, the phase is customized for that input; you may want the phase setting different for movies than music.
