No. The cona is inadequate for even the BeoLab 6000s. I tried it years ago and couldn't even tell that the cona was present. It was never really intended for the LFE but rather to "fill out" the bass of the BeoVox CX50 and CX100 speakers.

The Cona isn't designed for this kind of set up really.

It is absolutely noticeable if you have some CX100s like I have, it makes a subtle but noticeable difference to the sound, which actually makes it a really pleasant sounding system.

For your purposes however, it just won't be noticeable.

You can hook it up as you suggest, but a passive subwoofer like this has some positives and negatives. You would usually hook up passive satellites like CX series speakers. The Cona would filter the low frequencies from reaching the CXs - allowing them to play louder with less distortion. Then the Cons would play the low frequencies from both channels. In your configuration, you would not be able to take advantage of the internal filter and the Cona and the BLs would play some of the same frequencies. This could cause some odd frequency and time domain issues unless you are careful with your placement.
