I use Monster M Series wiring, which separate high/low frequencies. In other words, a single cable with a pair of banana plugs to the receiver and a two-pair set (bi) into the RF-3s. To my ears, it the dynamics from high to low seem smoother with the mid really being brought to life. Or is it all just a placebo effect?

I use a Yamaha 5460 receiver to power the sub which I believe pumps out 100 watts per channel, which is all I need (front right speaker level out). I also put a small amount of poly fill in the enclosure to minimize any boominess. The BASH 300s is certainly fine as an amplifier; I just could never keep air from leaking out of the extra space due to the short height of the amp--I even had a custom piece made to cover it. But, I did note a significant bottom end gain by using the left line-level in on the 300s instead of the LFE. It's because the amps crossover setting doesnt work for the LFE.

Well, I just sold my SVS cylinder. So, I was bored and hooked up my old Promedia sub to a Yamaha receiver. I ran the sub out from my receiver to the analog 5.1 input of another and then speaker out directly to the positive/negative sub wire connectors. They run through the port slot with the original bash plate amp still in place. It sounds awesome. I already tried the Bash 300S and it was just ok for me. The extra receiver cost me only $60. Since it sounds so good I am going to invest in a mono NHT subwoofer amp.
