Seems like the preamp out should work. Some of the rythmik subs have speaker level connections. Which one do you have? 

If you have speaker level connections Tee-Jay on YouTube can show you how to do it. He's awesome!

I use modified Rythmik plate amps.

Gain and Xover.

Set the XO at 100 hz or so (should be less 60-80) and the gain to 12:00 or so.. READ the manuel, and fine tune it..

Placement, for your listening position, is key, not everywhere else.
One servo unit, is better than most. I really like um..

Got to break in, too.. takes 50-100 hours or so. 

Enjoy..

Thanks gentleman the problem is solved I threaten to stuff it with dressing and Cook it in the oven and all the sudden it works fine now. Actually what happened I believe is  I rebooted the Naim by basically unpluging it and plug it back in, It worked not sure why I'm not even sure that was the answer because I did  trace the wires hook ups But they were correct so I'm not really sure but nevertheless it's good to go And yes I do read the instructions yes I do know it has a volume and switch thank you guys Somewhere very helpful. Have a happy thanksgiving.
