Connect older Bose Subwoofer to a modern AV receiver

Hi. I have a question which I hope you guys can help me with. So, I've gotten my dads old Bose Audiomass 5 series 3 subwoofer which I'm really fond of. Right now I have an old Denon amp which drives my speaker setup. I am however thinking about replacing the amp with a modern AV receiver/amp.

I've seen that most modern/new AV amps have this LFE output for subwoofers. However, the back of my subwoofer looks like this: picture . Will I still be able to drive the subwoofer with a newer Amp, by just providing it with the Left and Right speaker outputs or will I be "missing out" on something by not using the LFE output?

I really have no clue about this and also couldn't really find anything. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Cheers.

Your all way to rough on this guy!

   If he likes the sub, then why ride him for using it!!??

   Hook it up, and use it, if you think it’s not enough bass for what you want, then get a new one.

  Use what you have until the upgrade bugs start to bite. 
 Brands, prices, etc etc. .....l.who cares, if you enjoy your music and your components, enjoy them!
