Sub Woofer hook up with McIntosh MC 501


I'm currently thinking about purchasing a pair of subwoofers and run in stereo. I own a pair of McIntosh MC-501 monoblocks. The Mac's have 8,4,and 2 ohm connections, I run my speakers on the 4ohm taps, can I run a powered sub off the 2ohm taps without doing any harm. I would very much appreciate some help with this issue. Thanks

Here is a possible solution
With a Vandersteen 2WQ you can safely take speaker
level out at the amp into the pair of 2WQs the reason is it has a safe 1/2 Mega ohm input Imp. You will also receive the benefits of
high Passing the main amps which will lower distortion
and dramatically clean up the clarity of your system and music.
