How to hook up a subwoofer with an integrated amp?

Hi Audiogon community,
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a Plinius 8100 integrated amp and would like to connect a subwoofer.
Also, any sub recommendations for a 12X12 room? Looking for a musical sub for 2 channel listening.
My speakers are RevelM106.

Here is a link to the manual:

Why would you want it any other way? The volume control will also work like that using the preamp outs!

You can set the desired volume and crossover settings on the subwoofer itself and control the overall volume with the volume control of the preamp. You need to experiment with the volume control on the sub to find a position that sounds good to you at all preamp volume levels. As yogi said, use the preamp outs to the subs in with a decent interconnect of the proper length.
