Voltage Divider Linear Network

I own a Cary SLI-80 Integrated Amp which has on the rear apron a SUB-WOOFER OUTPUT. On the spec sheet it is referred to as a "Voltage Divider Linear Network for Driving Active Sub-Woofers".  Can this connection used as an OUTPUT to connect to another amplifier or to a reel-to-reel taper recorder for recording purposes?   I would like to connect directly to the input of an older basic amp to run speakers somewhere else in our home. Is this doable?

Does anyone know what exactly is a "Voltage Divider Linear Network for Driving Active Sub-Woofers" ??

If I may try to explain what I'm trying to accomplish if it doable:  From the integrated amp, I connect RCA jacks into the L & R Sub-Woofer connections.  It seem to me like the Sub-Woofer connectors are connected to the volume control of the integrated amp, so as the integrated amp raises or lowers speaker volume, so does it applies also to the "sub-woofer".  The other end is connected to a basic amp like a DYNACO 150 RCA Input plugs. [This DYNACO by the way has no volume controls; it is a simple power amp].  From the output of the DYNACO the speaker wires are connected and connect to a Stereo L PAD and from there to the speakers. In essence, the L-Pad is the "volume control" and keeps a balance of 4 to 8 ohms to the speakers.
QUESTION: Will this work?  Am I at risk of blowing something?   Thanks again for any imput on this matter.
