Hi,
Many of Budget Amps/Avrs do not have preouts.So I was wondering, has anyone tried headphone out as preout?
This can be useful with stereo amp which has dedicated headphone amp and do not cut speaker out while using it. eg. some of Marantz PM amps have that design and no dedicated subwoofer preout.
So will it be safe to add a subwoofer with headphone out and drive fronts(L/R) connected to amp's speaker out?
Subwoofer volume can be fixed at certain level and stereo amp's volume can be used as master volume.I can sense that theoretically its possible, but need to know if practically/technically possible without damaging amp or sw?
Kindly reply.
Thanks.
