Pre amp to sub hookup, or speaker level?


If my pre only has one set of main outputs, how do you recommend hooking up a subwoofer? Is it better to use a Y adapter and split the signal out of the pre, or run a second set of speaker wires from the amp? Is it ok to run a second set of speaker wires off my 2 channel amp, or does that interfere with its main speaker driving duties? Thank you

If I have an inferior quality sub, am I degrading the signal by passing it through the sub on its way to the amp? My subwoofer is the lowest quality component in my system.Thanks for the help
my sub is powered. It has both speaker level and line level. My question remains. Is it ok to run a second set of wires off my main amp, or should I split the signal from the pre?
I thought my question was clear, apologize if it wasn't
