Connecting a sub this way is less than optimal but with your integrated's limited facilities you have no choice. Just run cables from your speakers to the sub if that gives you the shortest cables. You might consider having a tech put the appropriate capacitor on the input of the amplifier stage internally to roll the amp off starting at 80 Hz. This will give you less distortion and more head room.
Another subwoofer connection question
I’ve looked at similar threads but feel I should get advice specific to my setup. If I wanted to connect my LM 518 integrated to a sub to augment Spatial M3 Turbo S’s, would I just run another set of speaker cables from the LM’s taps to the subs speaker inputs? Or is that going to mess up the LM? The Spatials use the 4 ohm tap; would I run the other set of speaker cables from the 8 or 16 ohm tap?
The sub in question is an ancient (2003) Velodyne CHT-8
