A friend of mine just bought a polk rm6700 setup with a polk powered sub. He's confused on the correct way to hook up his sub so I figured I'd ask you guys.
His manual that came with the speakers and sub say the best method is to run the 2 front speakers directly to the sub then connect the sub to the receiver. Doesn't this only give him a 5.0 system instead of 5.1??
He wants to hook it up via the rca jacks on the sub to the LFE connection on the receiver. This should give him a 5.1 setup. However there is a section in his subs manual saying not to do this because there could be a conflict with low-pass filters between the sub and receiver.
Can anyone help?
