Hi,
You can connect the sub by using "Y" splitters on the line level leads. Do that for each channel such that you are sending the full range signals to both the sub and your satellites.
The internal crossover of the sub will allow you to retain only low frequencies for the sub. However, here's the catch: the satellites will still receive full range signals so you may have some overlap of the low end of the sats with the high end of the sub. It may not be a problem but you'll have to listen and see.
I wish active subs offered a high-passed line-level output so that the sats only recieve the higher frequencies that the sub is not getting. Maybe that exists but my sub does not offer that feature.
Regards,
Adnan
