Low Input or High Input Connection?

my audiobahn 10" tube woofer(amped) just came in the mail today. on that back theres a bunch of connections. There's one connection that is called "high input" and theres also a "low input" connection where theres the two RCA holes.
I have the option of tapping into my rear speakers for the high input connection, or plugging the RCA guys into the headunit for the low input. which one should i use? is one better sound quality than the other? am i not going to be able to use the cool little wired remote if i go low input? what should i do?


thanx

It will sound better if you go low input. Line level converters are usually cheaply built circuits that are more of an after thought than anything else.

will i be able to use my wired remote remote with the low input setting? cuz in the manual it shows how to connect it both ways...and in the low input setting it doesnt show a remote connected. how is the bass controlled then if not with the remote? by the headunit? cuz that sucks cuz then ill have to rip out my speakers and put bass blockers on all of them to not blow them out

If you use high in, there wouldn't be a crossover and you'd need bass blockers anyway. You probably could still control the remote even if you use the low inputs. I don't see any reason why it couldn't be used.
