Hi,
I just got a set of RM6800 and have decided to connect them through the LFE connection. I was wondering if anyone had any luck connecting with y cable or is it better just to go through one channel?

Also the instruction illustrate hooking up the left and right speakers through the sub. I've looked for an argument for this and have been unsuccessful. Any one know why?

thanks

    First welcome to Club Polk. Second using a y adapter is just fine. Stick around this is a great place to learn.

    Using a Y adapter can increase your sub volume a few db higher which is also the same as increasing the gain. In short, you may or may not use a Y. It is only a matter of personal preference.

    It rely is a debatable subject weather it helps or not but from what I have seen heard and read. It does not help what so ever. But if you feel better knowing that both input are connected by all means use a y adapter.
