Adding a Pre-Out to an integrated tube amp


I've got two sub amps with line level only inputs and a Melody I880 integrated amp with no pre-out. So I want to add a pre-out for the sub amps. Two amps so need L/R not summed to mono. Being a tube amp everything is easily accessible and first thought was take right off from the volume. But then doing some research saw people recommend using an op-amp or resistor, and some others saying you need a schematic to take the signal after the pre-amp stage but before the amp. Seems to me line level should be enough, ie right off the volume will be okay, but will it? Anyone done this and know what will work?

Are you aware that the voltages in a tube pre are lethal? Just letting you know.
If this is a high quality integrated leave it alone. Sell it and get something that works for you.

Leave first time electronics hacking to cheap gear you don't mind ruining.

Best,

millercarbon,

     Please simplify your life and buy 2 Dayton Audio SA1000 sub amps.  You'll save yourself hours of aggravation and possibly electrocution.

     The best new price I found is $409 each on Amazon.

     However, I came across this shop in St. Louis selling 2 used for $600.

     It's on the Reverb site and the ad states the seller is temporarily away.  But this looks like a very good deal worth waiting for and you can message the seller.
