Alright,

So I bit the bullet and bought a 2nd DefTech PS100tl sub (because I love the one I have so much, I didn't want it to be lonely)

Anyway, I did this before I realized that my pre-amp doesn't have 2 sub-outs.

So, I assume that if I want "stereo" bass, I must use the speaker level inputs, correct? My ultimate goal is to keep my mains full-range if possible, but keep my subs sounding their best.

Now, for my real questions:

1) Will my speakers sound as good coming from the sub as they do coming straight from the amp? In other words, are their any appreciable differences? (other than the bass now being diverted to the sub?

2) Will my speakers (coming from the sub) still receive their full power? (as if connected straight to the sub) *I know they won't receive full-range, just asking about amped power by itself. I seem to remember that it's best to keep as many electronics out of the loop as possible for the "purist" sound.

----------------

Now, my receiver has the ability to use separate amps at the same time using the speaker-outs on the back. How would it benefit me to use the receivers speaker-outs to run the dual subs (left/right), and to continue to run the speakers straight from the amps?

Keep in mind that I would prefer a full-range signal to my mains if possible.

My main concern with the later option is sound quality. Will the bass sound as good coming from the speaker outs on the receiver as it would coming from the speaker outs on the amp?

P.S. I seem to remember someone saying in an earlier post on a similar subject that it is possible to run the speakers full range straight from the amp while also having the sub's speaker-wire coming from the same terminals. Would this be the best variation?
