Subwoofer help, using two amps...

Never used a subwoofer

Need help on whether this set up would work and, if so, the best subwoofer.

I have been demo-ing various amps and am impressed with ATMA m60’s, particularly on mids and highs(Tekton DIs 4 ohm) However, not content with bass response, even with zero’s

Because the Oppo has double paired outputs(RCA’s and balanced), I am toying with the idea of running balanced connects to the M60’s, then on to DI’s

… and

RCA cables from Oppo to a 200 wpc SS amp, with paired speaker cables to subwoofers(right and left subwoofers)

Would this work or would there be problems, like a phase issue?

If this is doable, what subwoofer is optimal for this set up/connections. Vandersteen or Rel? I’m guessing, among other things, some sort of high pass filter might be needed

Thanks in advance

I have done and read some on the subject manner.
The following link was the information I found to most helpful in obtaining a well balance, flat frequency that closely matched the SPL of the main speakers and minimized frequency cancellations and bloom.

The sound is omni directional and it sounds as though it is being broadcasted from the main speakers and correctly positioned in the overall sound stage

This may be helpful to you
