hooking up subwoofer to 2 channel tube amp

Hi All,

I have a Jolida 202 BRC amp.  I am interested in adding a subwoofer and I think it is possible, though there is no specific subwoofer out.  In fact, besides the two speakers there are no outs, only ins.  Is this still possible?

You need a sub-woofer with speaker level input:

OR
a sub-woofer with speaker level input and output:

I see.  So you are saying I need something like a spade plug at the base of the out and keep my banana plug into the terminal itself so there are actually 2 speakers (one main and a sub) attached to the same place?  Do I have that right?

Thank you. I'll give them a call if I can't figure it out, but I think what I said above is correct.

Any combination will work.
