Subwoofer wiring in remote rooms
Henry,
Subwoofer wiring in a whole house system needs to go like this:
From the amp/receiver/selector to the volume control in the remote room; to the sub location; then up to the individual speakers in the room.
Make sure you have a sub that utilizes "speaker level" inputs/outputs as you`ll be running speaker wire the whole way, no pre-amp level.

Hello;
I am planning a music distribution system for our home. I know your recommendation is to run 4 wires (2 pr.) wire from a speaker selector to each wall volume control, and then 2 wires(1 pair) to each speaker.
Please clarify the wire routing scheme for those rooms in which we will use a sub-woofer and 2 speakers.
Thanks,
Henry.
