Hello,
Second and last question about my setup.
I am in a relatively small bedroom.It's my secondary listening place.My speaker palcement is not optimum but it does sounds pretty nice and suprizingly the fact its a small room makes a boucing effect that can be suprizingly not bad at times.
Lately I decide to add a subwoofer to my pair of Energy 4.1e speakers( http://arm.in/n8Y )
and I am having an hard time setting it up.First some pics of the sub:

The questions I have are related to the volume,cross over level and connections.The back of the sub goes as follows:

First of all,I heard I would get better results if I splitted the sub-woofer pre-out from the receiver(Harman Kardon AVR-146) and plug both splitted outputs to my 2 sub connectors.I tried yesterday,but when I plug the cable in the xover connector I lost any control of the crossover with the sub button.Should i plug only one cable going from my pre-out to my sub in or should it be splitted?
Second,how do I set the sub-woofer volume and xover properly?Am I supposed to look up the frequency range of my speakers(Which I have not be able to find online)?And since my room is small,should I just let the sub step on the speakers to get a better bass quality by setting the xover pretty high?
The volume looked easier to set,Its a tad under 5 right now(as seen on the pics) and the quantity of bass seems pretty good to my ears.Maybe a bit too high,but I will adjust later when I do another listening session.Is there anything I need to know about setting a sub's volume?
As always,thank you for you amazing help .
