    i have never actually listened to the rm6000, but with the majority of sub satilite systems they are designed to have the satilites wired thru the sub , this is where the sats will get there crossover points this way they will not be running full range, as most can not handle the full range like a tower speaker..
    i am sure that a few of the peeps on this forum that have similar systems will post in and give some advice and correect me if i am wrong.. also check the manual for proper wiring..

    I don't know....my dad has the RM6600 system, and I hooked it through the sub amp. Doesn't it grab the lows from the center channel if youdo it this way? Parallel wiring would miss center lows, right? Even if a center is set to small, the LFE can't get re-sent to the fronts, right? I just used a monster sub cable for this, and the sound is virtually perfect.
