I can't find a "princeton chorus amp" on Fender's Web site, though there is a discussion group dedicated to it, so obviously they have made them at some point, though they don't include them under "Products". This means I don't know exactly what you are talking about.

My personal experience is that I tried using a 300 watt Peavey bass guitar amp as a sub-woofer for my Fender Passport 500. It didn't hurt the Passport, but the resulting sound wasn't very good.

You really want an actual powered sub-woofer and not just a bass guitar amp. I got a 400 watt, 15" Gemini powered sub-woofer and the difference is dramatic. Both the guitar amp and the subwoofer had 15" speakers. The difference in sound quality, however, is striking.

I'm sure that my powered sub-woofer would be just as bad used as a bass guitar amp as my bass guitar amp was at being used as a powered sub-woofer. You want the right tool for the job.

My recommendation is: Either get a real powered sub-woofer, or leave that "Sub Out" port alone.
