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 would call Ralph directly with your question. He would be the most qualified person.
FWIW, I have a pair of MA-1’s paired with MP-3.
My speakers are Vandersteen Treo’s and a pair of 2wq subs.
I installed the Vandy crossover between amp and pre. and run double runs from amp to speaker and sub.
The result is excellent sound, if I may so so.
Are your Tektons 4 or 8 ohm?
