Subwoofer w. Passive Line Stage?


I'm using the Placette passive volume control to drive a Mac Power amp. If I want to add a powered subwoofer to my main 2 speakers, is there a way to do so by only tapping into the power amp's output at the speaker terminals? The Placette has only one line out and lacks the current to drive two amp inputs.

Thank you for your help. My dilemna is this: I have an extremely high quality (and expensive) connection straight from CD/SACD through Placette passive potentiometer through to power amp, and I don't want to pollute the signal by passing it through additional cables and crossovers. So I like the idea of simply tapping off the amplifier output into a transformer circuit built into or near the subwoofer that would convert the high-level signal to a line-level input. That way I save tons of money and preserve high quality signals for my main speakers.
