Sub woofer naive question day

I am a geezer and have had decent audio equipment for better than fifty years. But have never owned a sub woofer. What is the proper way to implement the speaker into a system with an integrated amp that does not have a specific sub tap? The amp has a line out and a pre out.

Despite what they call it “20Hz@94dB 40Hz@100dB” is a dramatic -6B roll off.

Does their app allow you to adjust more gain at 20Hz?

SVS now sells an adapter to drive any subwoofer that has an RCA input, using a speaker-level connection. I have not tried this product, but it's inexpensive and comes with a home trial period.

When it comes to sub(s) two is better than one and one is far better than none. REL has lot's of videos as doe Youtube.

If I can ask a related question, when an amp has a “sub out” does that connection normally cover the entire frequency spectrum or just the lower end? Maybe there is no “usually”?
