Best way to hook up subwoofer

Tech Square

Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I have a pair or three ways speakers and a powered home theater sub and a Sony receiver. The back of the Sony receiver has A and B speaker outputs. The powered subwoofer has speaker-level inputs and speaker level outputs to go to other speakers.

Should I connect my three-ways to the A speaker output, and then connect the subwoofer to the B speaker output?

Or should I connect the subwoofer to the A speaker output, and then connect the three-ways to the B speaker output?

Or should I connect the subwoofer to the A speaker output and then connect my three-ways to the speaker out on the subwoofer?

I want to be able to use the 10" woofers on the three-ways, but the powered subwoofer has a much cleaner sound.
