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

Thanks for the replies

1. Tekton DI 4 ohm

2. Running both doesn’t seem to be a problem- response from oppo:

”There will be no risk to using the balanced and unbalanced cables at the same time, as the OPPO device has dedicated OP/AMPs for the outputs, so there is no loss of resolution when using all the analog outputs at the same time.
If you connect both amps at the same time and they are both powered on you will just be getting double the audio. There will no no damage to the player.

Almarq, As mentioned, I have a working ss amp that produces the desired bass. I am wondering if this could be integrated, since it has speaker connects to suit the Vandersteens. I have absolutely no desire to connect the m60s to a subwoofer.

Thanks again
