Subwoofer is too loud with gain all the way down

I'm not sure what to do to get the excessive gain out of my subwoofer. I have RCA cables (left & right) going from the Emotiva integrated amp output to the RCA inputs on my NHT Classic 10 subwoofer. I have a USB Micca Origen preamp/dac with the gain set at -10dB. I can't turn the gain on my sub any lower. My preamp volume is at 12:00 and my integrated amp volume is at 1:00. Thanks

Hi, it's an Emotiva Mini-x a-100. I would imagine that they are line level preamp outputs.
It's pretty much too loud and too boomy with most music. I have the sub X-over @80Hz. 
I have an integrated amp and preamp because I need the USB DAC to go to my computer. I thought that it was very normal to have a preamp feeding into a power amp or integrated amp?

Setting the Emotiva volume control @95% worked. Thank you!!
