Using Tape Out from Preamp for powered sub woofer.

Hi, It may sound stupid, but can a Tape-Out from Preamp be used for powered Sub Woofer. I'm looking at constant bass from sub. So more bass at lower volume and relatively less bass at higher volume. Are there any technical disadvantages if the Tape-out is used for power subwoofer?

You may also be able to use a quality Y-connector at the end of your IC cable from your preamp output (not tape out) to your amp. So, run a second IC from the Y-connector to your sub(s). This will allow your preamp to control the volume, but you should still be able to adjust the gain control on your sub(s) when playing at low volume.
