If your sub has a low pass filter and you do not want to run your mains full range, you should be able to go CD OUTput (not input) to sub to amp. Also many subs can run from the high level speaker outputs on your amp (essentially in parallel w your mains). Still haven't told us what sub you have. Also Vandersteen 2W and 2X can only run in parallel w your mains. There is a filter (aka crossover) that (in your case) would go between the CDP output and the amp input, and then both the mains and the sub get a speaker level connection to your ARC.
Can I hook up sub directly to amp?
I am ready to buy a cd player that I can run directly to my amp and then sell my preamp. Only problem is the cd player has no inputs so I cannot connect my sub.
My question is can I connect the sub from it's speaker terminal outputs directly to my amps output terminals along with my regular speaker cables coming from my speakers.
Thanks.
