Default Derive subwoofer channel. How?

I have a respectable but old(er) 'stereo' receiver, a Sony STR-V55 (along
with a Sony PS-X75 turntable) which I use in a home-office. L-R speakers
are in-ceiling mtd.(!) Sound is fine; however, I would like to pump-up the
low end by adding a subwoofer. Rcvr and turntable can support it;
ceiling-mtd spkrs are OK at best. There is a set of pre-amp out-in jumpers
at the STR-V55's rear. What is the most economical way to derive a
"center-like" 'bass' channel from both L & R channels?

Regards,
Wayne

Replace the "jumpers" with a pair of RCA "Y-adapters"
to maintain the loop connection. I would use the kind
with two male connectors and one female.

Run the L/R line-level signals to a powered sub-woofer
which has line-level inputs.

Do most powered subwoofers have two line-level inputs . . . . so that it
can derive the monophonic signal from both the L & R channels?

Yes. Some even have two line-level outputs which can feed the signals
back to your main amps and speakers with the sub signal removed. That
will increase their power handling and lower distortion.
