Got a REALLY nice tube preamp with TWO pairs of RCA outputs (currently wired in parallel).

Output is directly off a pair of cathode followers (6AH4) through rather nice sized caps for full frequency response.

So I'd like to add a sub to one of the two pair of RCA outs and that would work well as the current series cap is nice and large.

But then, my 2A3 monoblocks no longer need anything much below 80Hz (and the Edgar Mid Bass horns don't do anything lower than that anyway)

Could I come off those two cathode followers with smaller 'nice' series caps to one pair of RCAs just for the 2A3 Monoblocks and leave the other pair large and 'full range' for the Sub Amp while having the two pair of RCAs connectors no longer wired in parallel?

What am I missing (if anything).
