Tape Out as Subwoofer Output?


My integrated does not have a dedicated subwoofer output, however does have L/R "tape outs".

So I used "tape out" on integrated as a subwoofer connection...is there any performance loss??...so far seems to blend well after playing around with the subwoofer's cross over.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you're not constantly turning the volume up and down with wide swings use the tape out and set the volume on the sub to the normal levels you listen at , by using the high level speaker inputs you negate the crossover built into the sub....I get awesome results this way simply because I don't constantly vary the levels I listen at. If the sub volume ever becomes an issue I get up off my butt and adjust it rarely do I do this. Having a sub integrating with decent bookshelf's sound full and rich at medium and low volume. When a deep blast appears in a soundtrack or video it shows up .....
