I have a dedicated 2 channel integrated amp (no amp out). I want to hook up 2 passive subwoofers, one for each speaker but am unsure of the best way to wire them.

As I see it, I have 2 choices:

a) run a shotgun configuration straight off the amp with 1 cable going to the speakers and 1 to the the subwoofer.

b) run a cable to the subwoofer, and then from the subwoofer to the speaker, using the subs x-over.

Is one a definite no..no? Or is one preferential?

thanks
