A very good afternoon to you John
Op 19 Feb 97 08:35 you wrote something about *Cables & Stuff ???*...

What do you mean exactly with a 'rear sub' ?
JA>     The powered sub module that I have has high and low level inputs as

Doesn't make that much difference as long as the wire is heavy enough....
JA>         Also, is it better to just run the rear channels straight from

hannel
JA> binding posts off the rear subwoofer?
I don't know....you may have a chance that the crossoversection is build in 
in the sub cabinet....if you use a seperate amp you'll need a seperate 
crossoversection as far as I know...but it is the best solution..
JA> I am not sure how much signal loss I
JA> might experience at 11 meters.
Depends on the diameter of the cable, the range of the frequency, the 
impedance of the speakers..etc......anyway, if you're worried about it and 
want to be prepared for the worst case: take a standard loudspeaker zipcord 
with a diameter of 4 square millimeters or more (due to the 11 meters you 
just mentioned)....I'm sorry I can't translate that into gauge or other 
measures....
Greetingzetcetera, Thom
