I do not recommend this suggestion as some AVRs put the A and B loads in series when both are selected and some introduce an impedance-adjusting resistor. You are better off running the sub from the dedicated sub output on the system (if you have such).If not and you must use speaker-level connections, connect all to the same sets of terminals or run the main L/R through the sub's network.
It would easier to give better advice if you posted the specific amp, speakers and sub you are using.
Follow Ups:
I was thinking of a situation with an older stereo amp w/o a sub terminal. If the amp has a sub output by all means use it.
Here is my current equipment: SF Auditors for L&R speakers, SF sub, and currently Krell HTS7.1 as my processor, which I am replacing/supplementing (not sure yet) with the Nagra Pll.
won't the Krell do bass management and feed the sub independantly?
The amp is on old 5 channel Carver 505x. Yes, the Krell does have bass management, and at the moment it is doing just that. My point was, since I have only 2 channels, can I not replace the Krell HTS with a good 2 channel analog preamp, and feed the sub line level signals from the analog preamp ? I realize that my speakers will be run full range, but as per Sumiko, I can run the Auditor's full range, and the speakers should be fine.
Yup. As suggested elsewhere.
