One part of my question got lost in the discussion: We don't need a
full-fledged Pre-out that can drive a power amplifier, with all that
goes with that.

We only need to *insert* a line level active crossover (a "simple"
filter) on the signal path after (right after?) the volume control.

Can't that be done on the cheap? Just cut the signnal path and insert
two pairs on cinch connectors Out==In.

Are you saying that the difference wouldn't be perceptible?


Not necessarily. I'm just saying that the results may be perfectly
acceptable for the application, by going the route NSM detailed: ie dropping
the speaker sig to an appropriate level for the input of the sub with a
resistor network. This is considerably less work than adding pre outs to
the amplifier and should work quite well. In fact, you could 'kludge up' a
network with just the resistors and a pair of RCA cables connected to the
'B' speaker outs in half an hour or so.


If you have limited experience, you may end up destroying your reciever; in
which case you can then get one which has a sub output or at least a preamp
out.
