I posted this in the subwoofer forum with no feedback so I figured I would post it here. Any help is appreciated thanks!

I currently have a Emotiva RS11 hooked up to my PT100 via RCA interconnects the two wire kind. (L and R) however I am currently upgrading all my interconnects with Audioquest cables so I purchased there Boxer subwoofer cable. It is only a single RCA (LFE) will I loose sound quality with the single cable over the dual cable, will the LFE kind even work with the PT100? Thanks

Please see emotiva.com/pages/product-manuals, select PT-100. Go to page 14, there on section 5, is an explanation on Subwoofer connection, and how it works. It is in .pdf form so it works with just about any device to download, and view.

Great thanks! Looks like I will be ok with the single rca connection. I swear the sub was outputting more information when I used the double RCA cables over the single during initial testing. I will try my new Audioquest cable this weekend and see how it sounds
