passive preamp sub output?

I own an Acurus integrated (DIA 100, MKII). It has "passive" circuitry, and no preamp output. In an ongoing effort to consolidate my HT system and dedicated stereo system (see my other thread!) I want to use it with a sub. However, it doesn't have a preamp output. I tried using the "tape out" output, to no avail. Any ideas/solutions/hope? Much appreciated, Ben

1. Go to an auto audio shop or Crutchfield and get a pair of speaker-to-line level adapters. Run these to your powered sub in parallel with your regular speakers.

2. Get a passive sub with speaker-level inputs/outputs
