Hello, sorry in advance I don't quite know which sub forum this should be posted on.
I have a older Sanyo music center and would like to mod it for it to have a sub out option.
My first thought is to take the headphone output and solder some wires there and add a new socket for the subwoofer connector (or using the headphone output itself). I already have a subwoofer amplifier and I am planning on buying a passive subwoofer from a thrift store.
Is that a realistic way that it could be done or should I trace some other place on the PCB and add the subwoofer output anywhere else with some additions?

Just make an adapter for the headphone jack.
A 1/4" stereo phone plug to a single RCA male plug.
Inside the 1/4" phone plug, add a series 1k resistor in each channel, going to the RCA plug hot center pin.
You'll need a volume control on the sub amplifier to match the levels.
