    Can I use XLR to connect RSP1582 to amp and RCA to connect RSP1582 to sub?

    I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm contemplating getting a Rotel RSP 1582 preamp that has XLR outs so that I can connect my preamp to my amp using XLR's (balanced connection). Would it be possible to use RCA (unbalanced) out to connect my sub, a Vandersteen V2W, while at the same time connecting my pre-amp to amp using XLR?

    My speakers are Vandersteen 5's and have a highpass filter that goes between the amp and preamp that is XLR.

    I've searched and can't get a definitive answer as to whether this would be ok, or do something weird. From what I gather it would be really bad to use both RCA and XLR outs for the same connection.*thanks for your help

    Absolutely. This is the setup I'm using. 1582 Balanced XLR -> Emotiva amp, 1582 RCA -> powered subwoofer.
