Remember, you are dealing with stereo salesmen here.
A friend of mine once said that salesmen are one step below child molesters :-)
(That's a JOKE, Don't take it seriously, save net bandwidth, etc.....)

It would be much more efficient if you just installed a power switch on the
sub woofer's amp for removing power when the speaker is not installed.

How about making an assembly with the amp and woofer in the same box that can
be removed at the same time.
