tape out = preout ???


i tried connecting a sub to the preouts on my amp but didn't get any signal. i then connected the leads to the tape out jacks on my amp and get a signal. is this a good way to hook up a sub, i.e. do the tape out jacks give the same signal as the preouts?

amp is cambridge audio 840a v2.

thanks!

yes it is an active sub.

i talked with audiopluss services and they said not to use the tape out because, as folks above have indicated, you can't control the volume. they said to take the top off the amp (after unplugging and letting it sit over night) and then see if there are loose connections. if the preouts still don't work, i'll send it in for warranty repair.
