Newbie question.. Preamp and Sub


I didn't see any specifications for a sub output on any of the preamps i've checked ..
..

how do we usually connect a powered subwoofer with a normal preamp ? ( the one i checked are bryston and classe stereo preamps.. )
i thought they would have additional RCA or balanced outputs for subwoofers..

are stereo preamps designed to be used with 2 speakers + sub?

i know i will need a subwoofer for sure as my Mirage OM-10 are really lacking in deep bass.. ( 5.5" driver )

thank you!

Buy a REL Strata III or Storm III. One of the best brands for music listening. This sub connects directly to the amp speaker terminals (does not interfere with speaker connections). It "listens" to the amp output and just fills in the bottom frequencies below where your speakers cut out (you can dial this in on the back of the sub). Buy one, others here will agree.
I do use the Strata III for home theater, but for large rooms would recommend the Storm III. As it is I may upgrade to the Storm III, and my room is 15x20. For some real home theater punch try the REL Q201E.
