This is a theoretical question for now, pondering the feasibility of a project.
I have 2 mid-level but fully functional "vintage" (1970s-1980s) stereo systems with receiver (or preamp/amp/tuner), turntable, and age-appropriate speakers.
I have also recently acquired 2 self-powered subwoofers from modern 5.1-style surround sound systems. These boxes have a dizzying array of inputs and outputs, and are clearly intended to be integrated and controlled from elsewhere, although they do, thankfully, have volume controls.
My basic simple goal would be to utilize them in my stereo systems, only at the bottom end, with low-pass filter and, hopefully, to have as little effect on the rest of the system as possible.
Is this a relatively simple operation, or might there be land mines waiting that I do not foresee?
Thanks for your help!
