One Subwoofer for 2 systems?

I'm organizing a new set-up for both a strictly audio only system and one for home theater. I currently have a Bob Carver subwoofer bare-wired to the audio system. It also offers a Line-in option for a dedicated subwoofer speaker cord that could connect to an A/V Receiver via RCA plugs.

My question is, can I leave the sub wired to both my audio amp and the HT receiver? Only one unit would be on at a time with the two systems being completely independent of each other. The sub has an internal 1000 watt amp that also has a seperate AC adaptor and would be plugged to a dedicated wall plug.

Sounds like it would work. You could check with Carver.

REL subwoofers also have both sets of connections and are designed to work both ways without the need to change connections, settings, etc.

No reason to think Carver is any different. Does the Carver have separate volume controls for both inputs? The REL's do..
