No they are not pre amp volume controlled outputs. I believe they output a full volume at all times. You want to use a y cable splitter from your pre amp. Or if your RSP has both unbalanced and balanced outs use one set for sub and one set for amp. Then gain match using the volume control on the back of sub.

Gar My only insight, based on his question, was that he could use the pre-out to plug into the sub but as you note he would have to control the sub volume through the knobs that appear in the picture he provided. Assuming he could live with that with that work? |

Assuming he could live with that with that work? You mean the knobs in the subwoofer panel? I assume you mean the mini-x controls the volume to the speakers? That may be hard I think as everytime he wants to change the volume he'd have to match by ear both the sub gain and the mini x gain. However if he changed the volume upstream of both of these then he would only have to adjust the sub gain once so then that would work. |

So left/right Y connector or pre-amp as you suggested would be best. |

What could be fun (though potentially overkill) is to throw a control freak between the a100 and the sub effectively routing the sub's gain control to the desktop rather than whatever inconvenient spot the sub is placed.

chaosrv actually, you'd throw the CF between the source and the a100, and then just use it for volume. It would control the volume for both. I have used the line out for subs before, but in those cases, I've actually used my source as the volume control. If say you were using a DC-1 as a source, then I'd just set the a100 to max and use the line outs to the sub. You would adjust the volume from the DC-1 and you'd be all set.

I see your point but that is not what I was going for. If the OP already has an RSP, then there is no need for a control freak for volume (just use the RSP remote) I was thinking solely about conveniently relocating the sub gain control and not the speaker volume. |
