I ran two SVS subs off my MA8000 back when I was using a pair of Maggies. You can run them off output 2 or use speaker wire off the 4 ohm tap. The blending in that setup was completely seamless and transparent.

I agree with Ivan's comment relative to the jumpers. If your running the amp as an integrated leave them alone.

And BTW, congratulations on the purchase. The MA8000 was a game changer when introduced. It's performance is superb.

I see no harm using 2M to 1F y-cords. Electrons do travel rather quickly... even those of the audiophile variety.

Or you could use XLR to RCA cables from the 2nd output ...

Balanced out would be the preferred way if sub has a balanced in
