preamplifier after preamplifier?

Hi.

I have a preamplifier and a poweramplifier I am very satisfied with.
The preamplifier is connected to the poweramplifier and the powerampfiler is connected to speakers,
The connection between the pre- and power-amplifiler is also spited to two active subwoofers.

However, I miss the option to control my sub-woofers volume relative to the speaker volume.
My pre don't have any settings for tuning this, just volume +/-

Can I connect a Second pre-amp with independent volume before the sub-woofers? will this cause any damage or problems?
It might be easier to understand this drawing:


Pre #1: pro-ject pre box s2 digital
Pre #2: AIYIMA Tube Pre

Do you have a tape out on preamp 1? If so use that to drive preamp 2. Then use preamp 2 for volume control for subs. There are a few postings about this type of hookup.

This is the hookup I use for controlling my passive suds. Tape out to preamp 2, then to my external crossover, then to DSP for subs only. then to dedicate power amp for subs.
