Subwoofer into Naim Nait 5i with no pre-out......

Hi guys I am in a rush to get a cable to take away with me on a trip and am a bit confused. I have a Velodyne optimum 10 sub that has RCA connections and a Naim Nait5i with no pre-out - how do I go about making this work? That is, I need a subwoofer cable with RCA on one end - what do I do on the other and are these cables readily available and if so, where?
I also have a REL sub (that I can't take with me) and how that works is, plug into the Sub (neutric connection) and squeeze the thin bare wire at the other end into the banana sockets on the amp where your speaker cables go.

Thanks

You need a sub with High level output, not sure if yours has it or not. That way you can connect to your speaker terminals.

"The tape output always carries the selected input signal."

The above quote is from the Nait5i manual.Your manual is an invaluable asset.Like I told you before,read it.

"Tape Out" is full output. Does not go through volume control. Volume cannot be adjusted. Do not use Tape Out.
