Connecting a subwoofer


Hi everyone, I’m wondering whether I can connect my subwoofer directly to my amp. My VTL  preamp is temporarily out of service, so I’m listening to music the following way.   

Wiim pro streamer>Auralic Aries DAC>MC275>Sonus Faner Olympica I.

In the current setup my B&W sub is out of the picture, can I plug the sub into the amp, if so, how?

Thanks

If the B&W has speaker level binding posts you can connect the sub just like a pair of speakers to the Amp.   

assuming you don't have speaker level inputs (usually spring loaded), you can get something like this:

I think you need something like what @erik_squires recommended.  I think you have only line level inputs and not speaker level inputs.

If it’s like my SVS subwoofer, you run a RCA cable from the adjustable pre out. 

All the best.
