Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time?

I have a Classe 30 line stage preamp and a 70 amp. I am currently using the RCA outputs with a splitter to allow me to run stereo subs also. I would like to use both outputs from the preamp using balance cables to the amp and RCAs to the subs.

Is this possible? Thanks.

I have a BHK pre with both balanced & RCA out. The BHK instructions state one of the uses for the RCA’s out we’re Subs. The only issue is the balanced out was +6db, as @cleeds said over the RCA out so had to adjust the sub volume up to compensate.

Well you always have to adjust the sub (s) volume.  This is not a negative nor an issue.

On my Krell Illusion and Krell 300xd they both have Balanced outputs and Rca outputs along with inputs So I use high quality locking xlr connection between units.
