adding a sub

i recently purchased paradigm studio 40 v4's. I feel i'll need a sub, possibly 2 small ones. My question is this: my amp has only binding post for right and left channels. My pre only has 1 pre-out. Where do I hook up a sub? If I hook it to 1 channel on either side how does that affect the speakers?amp? I may get 2 small subs just because all of my stuuf has to be symmetrical or I freak out a bit.

Okay men, let me get this straight. The sub I bought, which hasn't arrived yet, has a "low level" input/output that are rca. Then there is a set of jacks, which look like speaker jacks, that say high level. However there are 4 of those jacks for each side. I will take rca cables from my pre to the low level on the sub. I will then use a y splitter and run my cables from the high level outlet to my amp. Does this sound correct? If not I will contact SVS an see whats going on. I'm sure there will be directions with the sub.

Thanks for all the info. I have found the information on this site extremely valuable.It is a fantasic resource.

Bob, I bought a SVS PBS12 NSD.

I apologize for my tendency to be redundant on some subjects, like this subwoofer, but I just want to get the right thing and hook it up correctly.

Thanks for your info Bob. I was wondering about that. It says only one cable, but I figured I'd need 2. I am expecting it Wed. I will get everything going and hopefully figure out the meter, I bought one of those also. Thanks again for your information.
