Question on Preamp Outputs.
@ jasonbourne52 The MC462 has different gain on balanced and unbalanced input. https://www.stereophile.com/content/mcintosh-laboratory-mc462-power-amplifier-measurements  
Question on Preamp Outputs.
450watts 8ohms the voltage is 60volts according to ohm's law equations V = I × R  and  P = V × I  or  V = √(P × R )  and  P = V^2 / R The voltage gain = 60 / 4.2 = 14.3 2.4volts x 14.3 = 34.3volts 34.3volts at 8ohms = 147watts  
Question on Preamp Outputs.
The bad news is you can't get the max. rated output power from the McIntosh MC462. The good news is the Marantz 8802a won't drive the McIntosh MC462 into clipping and in reality your speakers may not require that much power.

Subwoofer Connection: Speaker Level Amp to Line Level on Sub?
from speaker level on the amp to line in on the sub using an adapter? It should be fine if you connect the sub line level rca inputs to your amp speaker blinding posts via a LOC (line output converter). https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/Image... 
Bi Wiring Speakers from Luxman L-509X
The low and high pass filters means the multiple drivers are not not seen in parallel by the amplifier. They are seen as separate entities. For a better view to understand this, please see my post here:https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2... 
Bi Wiring Speakers from Luxman L-509X
The amplifier sees the same speaker load either way. @erik_squires +1  So highs @ 8 ohmslows @ 8 ohms- to -, and + to + = 4 ohms No!!! The high pass crossover has high impedance at low frequencies and the low pass crossover has high impedance...
