Got another question for anyone who's nice enough to school me. smile

I got a vintage Marantz 2235B receiver for my 2.0 stereo setup. Will likely be purchasing an EP350 sub for it, and will need to use the RCA pre-amp out connections and a Y-cable to connect to the subwoofer's 1/4" phone-input, as my receiver has no other subwoofer outputs (and i doubt high/speaker-level output would be preferable).

Here are my questions:

1. What knobs on my receiver (volume and/or bass/mid/treble), if any, will affect/control my subwoofer? Or as I turn up the volume on the receiver, will I need to turn up the volume on the subwoofer to match?

2. If the bass control knob on my receiver DOESN'T affect the subwoofer, i think that'd be GOOD thing, right? Then I'd have an easier time blending my M3 speaker bass with the EP350 which only has 80Hz and 150Hz cross-over settings. At 80Hz on the subwoofer, perhaps it would be optimal to surpress the bass setting a little on the M3s?

Thoughts, anyone?
