Subwoofer speaker input

Is it safe to connect integrated amp sub out to the speaker line level of sub

Makes and models would help.
If the integrated has a line level sub out then you could connect that safely to the speaker level input of a powered sub but you won't get any sound. The sub out is just too low. If the sub only has speaker level inputs then connect those to the speaker terminals of the amp. It can be in parallel with your speakers.

Thanks the amp is a yamaha as 701 and sub a boston cs 10.Since the sub only have a lfe input the crosover function does not work unless i use the speaker line connections and i don't want to run miles of wire.The reason for the question is that i would prefer to use the crosover of the sub.Supose i would make some sacrefises,thanks for info

If you are going to send full-range to the sub, does that means L+R are getting full range too? is that acceptable?
