How to connect susb to my system

Hi there,

Can you please help me on the correct way to connect a pair of powered subs to my system?

My system components:

Audio Research Ref 10 preamp

Rogue Apollo mono amps

Evolution Acoustics MM3 speakers.

Thanks in advance for your help.

OR... Plug them into the back of your preamp via the RCA/XLR connections. Using the RCA/XLR connections will maintain full range sound to your speakers. If you chain them in via speaker cables, most subs (you haven't specified what you have) will play the sub-bass and then pass the upper frequencies to your speakers.
