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?

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

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?
You got it right!

Any combination will work.

Check out REL subs.  They connect through the speaker outs on your amp but only augment the base without involving a crossover.

Thanks!  I was actually just looking at one.  I need to test them out, but a sealed sub seems like a better move for me than ported.  I don't want to bass to over power, just something to fill out the sound
