Subwoofer with XP-22 in unity gain

Given the Pass Labs XP-22 is set for Unity Gain on input 1, can I connect my sub to an RCA output and be able to feed the subwoofer?

Notes:

  1. I am not using volume control on the MSB DAC
  2. I currently have the sub plugged into the AVR
  3. I know there is no real point to the XP-22 in the diagram - still want to know if this will work tho

Please read your manual more carefully.  Input 5 is the Home Theatre (unity gain) pass thru function.

Keep the sub connected to AVR if you want it optimized for movies. 
Get another sub for music and connect it to line level RCA output.

@testpilot bruh, the last sentence of the first paragraph on page 6 of my manual says: 

You may also set any input to unity (0 dB) by selecting low gain and setting the volume at step 89.
