I do very similar, except I connect both my subwoofers directly from the amp to my subs via the high level speaker inputs, in stereo. Both my subs sit behind my Vandersteen’s. Yes, I’m aware that you don’t get a true stereo sub effect at those db levels, but it works to simply augment the Vandy’s and supply a bit more ‘grunt’. Then, obviously, set the crossover and gain at the subs so that they are integrated sound-wise and not noticeable as separate subs. Interestingly, in my room, the gain in one side is higher than the other for the integration, simply because of the room loading. I was able to adjust for that using Vandertones and a db meter at each frequency.
Works for me. I got rid if the whole LFE connections quite a long time ago.
