I fed the Sub RCA output of a receiver to another two channel receiver to power a pair of subs...worked just fine.

OP - we need more details to answer your question.

No no! The question has been answered. It's exactly what @TLS Guy just said - the RCA out has not been amplified, therefore no sound can come from a passive (unamplified/no plate amp) subwoofer.

You provided an amplifier to your subs by connecting another receiver (which contains an amp).

Generally not recommended to use an amp channel from the avr either (plus it won't be the correct channel). Something like a Crown XLS1002 perhaps for an external amp....

Any issue if i connect passive subwoofer to my AVR??
You have to connect the AVR to a sub amp or some kind of amp first. Then connect the amp to the passive sub.

What kind of passive sub do you have?
