Subwoofer Set up Question

I am thinking of hooking up a Velodyne HGS-12 into my system to give my room a bit of a bass boost (Coincident Super Eclipse 3's). I do not want to use the internal crossover in the subwoofer and am thinking of running the speakers full range for my application, two channel listening. My preamp has 2 outputs so feeding the sub is no problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks very much for any input!

For a system without a 2 output preamp, is the only way to hook up a sub by plugging the preamp outputs into the sub via long RCA interconnects, then connect speaker wires from the sub outs to the main speakers? Does the signal coming out from the sub to the mains get processed by the sub's amp as well? If so, this does not sound like a good approach. Is there any other way to do a sub in a 2 channel system without molesting the main speaker's signal with the sub amp? Hope someone can help, thanks.
