Tape Out as Subwoofer Output?

A true "tape out" on a receiver or preamp is a fixed line level output that is not connected to the volume control. So, as you turn your volume up and down on your main speakers, the tape out volume remains set at full output. You could adjust the volume on the bass amp (if so equipped) but that doesn't seem real practical. You'd have two separate controls to adjust and try to match every time you changed loudness.

Tape out is a fixed output...your integrated amp does not control that output...correct?

You will have no way to control volume on the sub...won't work.

Won't work properly. Changing volume on your main speakers will not adjust the subwoofer when connected via tape out. Certainly not the ideal arrangement.
