Basic question for sub input/output

Hello, I have a receiver with an LFE output (Pioneer VSX-1021-k). The receiver does not have a monitor output (a line level output that is active for all stereo inputs... I think). The polk subwoofer I have (PSW10) does not have an LFE input. Is there a cable that will allow me to take a LFE output and use it as the line level input into the sub?

If not what are my options?

Thanks.

    Not 100% sure, but I believe you can just use 1 of the inputs (but I've also seen some manuals that say to use a splitter to get more volume)

    So you should be able to just use a single RCA into a Y-splitter to the sub. This will still only get you the LFE sound though, but you should be able to get around that by changing some settings, or listening modes.

    (I just hooked up a new sub this afternoon, so I'm still playing with the settings myself)

    Glowrdr is right, you can just hook it to the left or right line level input. I do the same thing on my sub.
