Beolab 17 connection to non B&O sub - best way?

If I am connecting these from eg Essence via RJ45 Powerlink then I can daisychain one speaker to another. So presumably I can also daisychain to a sub (via RJ45 to RCA adaptor)?

I realise this does not deal with the bass reduction that you would get ( I think) by connection to a B&O sub but I have other ways of doing that

Or - other connection suggestions?

Thanks

Hi 

In the past I used BL3 along with Cambridge Minx X200.

Chromecast Audio > RCA input of Sub > BL3 via RCA output from Sub.

I reduced the bass load of the BL3 by setting position switch to 'Corner'.

So, I would do it as you propose yourselves.

Thanks!

My sub does not have RCA output so I need the feed from the Beolab... is that possible?
