speaker level sub hookup on class D?

I have a W4S ICE amp and was wondering if it would be OK to use the hi level speaker inputs on my Velodyne DD-15 sub? Reason being that the amp is fully balanced differential something and my sub seems to sum both channels to a mono signal. Since my amp does not use a common ground is it OK to do this? I have already asked W4S and they were not sure. Velodyne tech help is away until after the New Year. I would like to run wires from my amp output to the subs hi level input. Thanks for all replies.

I suspect that you can but I really wonder why. The sub will only convert that input to line level for its own internal amp and processing. The additional amp is adding nothing except its own noise and distortion; low though that may be, there's no reason to add it.

Do you have a line-level mono signal for the sub?
