Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems?

Is it possible to use the same SW for an HT system and a separate audio system?

I was wondering if you can connect a single SW RCA cable to my HT and continue using the dual wire method for my separate audio set-up comprising of an Audio Research D90 amp and SP12 preamp? The SW supports both a single RCA input and dual speaker wire inputs.

Of course not having both systems on at the same time.

Thanks

You can.

I do - works perfect.

AVR sub out goes to the LFE input on the sub.

Integrated amp with HT Bypass with preouts goes to the line level inputs to the sub.

For movies, Int Amp set to HT input, preouts are disabled, and the AVR sub out drives the sub with the scary low LFE effects.

For music, AVR is off, and source components are directly connected to the int amp, sub gets full range audio and the xover is set to blend with my mains.

No feedback, no cable swapping.
