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!

All these answers are good, but to get an exact answer we need to know the exact model number of the sub. I agree line level is the best way to go but different subs do different things to the line level pass through to the main amp. Some may use a crossover set at 80, 90 or 100Hz. Some may not even have a line level pass through. For integration it is best to consider what is happening to the signal all the way through.
