how many ways to hook up a subwoofer

Im buying a New Pre-Amp and it does not have a connection for a subwoofer .

How many ways are there to hook up a sub? Can you still run a cable from main speakers to a sub? Will that cause stress to your amp or speaker? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Well, my subs (JL Audio) do not have a speaker (high level) connections, only RCA or XLR inputs, and I am going direct from my Lumin X1 to my mono blocks (no preamp). I did not want to use a Y adapter.

So, I purchased a Jenson ISO-Max unit that converts speaker outs (high impedance) to XLR (low impedance). Seems to work very well.

Sure, it is the Jensen ISO-MAX SP-2SX 2 channel unit. I however am using 2 of them since my subs are very far apart.
