Integrated amp to Subwoofers


I was wondering what is the best way to connect an integrated amp and a sub, I have a Sim Audio I-5 and I might buy a velodyne hgs-10 which i feel will match well with my nautilus 805's. The integrated has a pre-amp out, can I use that and run it directly to the sub with regular rca cables? I always hear talk about a daisy chain but since I have an integrated I feel like it might be different, thanks alot.

As stated above, does you sub allow you to run it in "high pass" mode? This is where the sub is connected to the speaker terminals along with your main speakers. The sub will integrate better for music using this approach.


Using the pre-out should work fine also (low pass mode). Just be sure it will not interfere with the operation of the amplifier. Usually the pre-out on an integrated is intended for adding a power amp, not a sub.
