Can I hook up sub directly to amp?

I am ready to buy a cd player that I can run directly to my amp and then sell my preamp. Only problem is the cd player has no inputs so I cannot connect my sub.
My question is can I connect the sub from it's speaker terminal outputs directly to my amps output terminals along with my regular speaker cables coming from my speakers.
Thanks.

I do not understand about Y connectors and the amp.
The cd player would be a Bel Canto CD2 which has no inputs but has volume control. That is why I wonder if you can just hook up wire from sub to binding posts of my AR 100.2 amp.
Thanks as I am getting different answers.

My sub is an ERA sub10. Has inputs and output speaker binding posts as well as rca which I am using now which I will not be able to use if I buy the Bel Canto cd2.
Thanks for your help. I believe this to be a simple solution if you know what to do but I have received a myriad of answers, all different.
