Hi Mark,

That will work fine, and that's exactly how most of us ran sub/sat systems before there were 5.1/7.1 receivers. You won't have remote control of the level feeding your sub, but that's OK. If you find you have too much bass (or too little) on some program material, you might have to get up and adjust your sub's output level knob. A minor hassle.

Also, there's a remote control thing that Wayne A. Pflughaupt uses. That would come in handy if you did indeed want control over the level feeding the sub. Sorry I can't think of the name of it right now... EDIT: it's called the Chase Technologies RLC-1 remote line controller (check Google/eBay if you're interested).


So, yeah, use your sub's crossover to filter out the highs that your mains are handling and go for it.
