it's possible by conecting speaker wire from your amp to subwoofer speaker input (line-level) and out to your speakers.

Note: your sub should have 2 sets of speaker connections IN & OUT, if not & only LFE input this connection is not possible. :(

Very much possible brader by using your subwoofers' high level inputs, you can follow this diagram made by Sir Louie1 on this thread: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,142375.msg1525981.html#msg1525981

keep in mind that the advice given above assumes that your Front L/R speaker-level outs carries a full range signal with the LFE mixed in with it.

possible kasi na naka-highpass na yung speaker-level outs and if that's the case, bale-wala kasi wala ring mapupulot na lower frequencies yung sub

LFE channel information generally doesn't get mixed into the L/R output, even if a sub is not present. Bass redirection only goes the other way around in most cases.
