So found a deal on an ok quality 15" passive sub (powered via 1/4 jacks). I've also got a spare marantz sr8002 receiver so figured I would power the sub with that receiver when I wanted some proper sound. My gut instinct is two connect the marantz to my current receiver by plugging an rca cable between the sub out of the main amp into one of the 7.1 channel ins of the marantz then use a set of banana to 1/4 cable from the corresponding speaker connections to power said passive sub, running the marantz in 7.1 mode and using it to control the sub volume. Would this work? TIA
