Thanks.
Yes you can...most subs have line level inputs or high level inputs. Typically, a receiver has a pre out for this purpose, but since it's a basic 2 channel amp, chances are that there isn't such a thing. This is where the high-level inputs come in. Hook up your wires to the amp, then run those wires directly into the high level inputs. Hook your speakers up to the sub amp now, using the high-level outputs.
