Use Connect with existing powered sub?

I have a Connect device and I have an existing powered Kef sub.
Can I get the sub to work effectively by plugging these together?

    No worries. One further thought - if you were using the line-in on the Connect to play any of your music (e.g. CD player), there is also a level setting for the line in.

    The Connect:Amp has a subwoofer out connection for a third party powered sub.

    No. Is there an output level adjustment on the Sub?

    Have you tested the sub to make sure it works. PLUG YOUR RCA cable into an input port on your sub and plug into power. On thw kther end of the RCA, just tap with finger on the needle. It you hear thumps, the sub is fine.
    Does your sub have multiple inputs (mono, left and right, or LFE). Try plugging into LFE first.
    I have a Playbase and my connect amp paired together because i have a DEF TECH supercube 4000. Way better than the Sonos Sub.
    Let me know if that works.
