Newbie Hooking up Question

Hello
I did a Search On this with no Luck so I must ask.
I just purchased Klipisch F20 FrontSpeakers and Center 20 for My present HT setup- Denon Avr2802 receiver+Polk PSW650Sub. Rear Surround Satellite Speakers Polk RM2300's.
When I hook it up Should i wire receiver to sub to speaker? or go reciever wired directly to speakers? My Sub is Huge and I'd hate to bypass it or leave it out which some posts i read suggested.
Also Should i set these to small or large in the receiver settings?
Any other info or advice u could provide for optimal performance is much appreciated, Thank u.

Run your sub via the reciever's line-level sub/LFE output with the required RCA/RCA interconnect and connect the other speakers directly to the receiver.

Read your receiver manual for more on this.

It's labeled subwoofer in the pre-outs section of the 2802. All speakers set to small. The speakers can handle different crossover points to the sub. Unfortunately, the 2802 uses global bass management with XO points at 80/100/120 Hz. Normally you'd set it to the highest requirement of the speakers, in this case the RM2300s which need 120Hz or higher. You could try 100 Hz, but there is a chance of blowing the 3.5" drivers.
