I'm considering upgrading my current Denon 4500x receiver to the Emotiva RMC-1, but I'm not sure how to hook up the subs because the Emotiva only has XLR outs, while the subs only have LFE/RCA inputs. One thing to note that because the location of my components are in the utility room, I've had to run 2 x 70 ft RCA cables next to each other to reach the subs in their current location. Also I've heard that I can get an XLR splitter to connect the 2 subs that way to the RMC-1. So even with the splitter, I'm still stuck with what to do about the cables.
A.) Do I get 2 x 70 ft XLR cables to run through my walls and then get a small RCA -> XLR adapter to connect the sub?
B.) Keep the current RCA cables in wall, and get a small RCA to XLR adapter to connect in the utility room
C.) Sell subs and upgrade to SVS - (most expensive and hardest to try and get the wife on board with lol).
D.) Another option I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance,
Spencer

I’d say C is the best long term solution (though I’d phrase it as a sub with XLR inputs like SVS), but for now I’d just get things running using option B. Option A won’t buy you any improvement with your current subs.
So:
B (for now)
A (when you’re ready for)
C (when WAF and finance is managed)

I use these for my farthest subs. Was considering those myself a couple of weeks ago. I was in the same situation as the OP and just went with the XLR to RCA adapters. Easy $25 fix for all three of my subs and no issues 👍 |
