Any ideas about which subwoofer cable is better to use, the Y-SW subwoofer cable (1RCA-2RCA) or the normal RCA cable (1RCA-1RCA) for the AW12 APEX subwoofer

Hi,

I do not have the QED cable mine is an Ixos, my previous sub was used with the Y connector and worked well in this configuration.

I currently use a single cable into my Apex sub, but MA did say it can be used with a Y connection, it can increase the bass response so may need re calibrating if you change the connection.
