yamaha cx-1000u rs..can I run 2 subs?

I am wondering if I can hook up 2 subs useing this pre amp.I know its old.But you have to start somewhere.The manual doesn't say squat about subs,and I don't know too much about hooking them up.I have a wharfedale power cube 10 running on my ht setup.Thinking of useing that and maybe getting a svs pb10 nsd.Any input would be gr8!

my first choice is to put it between the preamp and amp of the system sub is serving. Try putting it between output 1. As always turn everything off. turn volume down. Power up slowly. Stay near the volume control and on/off switch. Any thing that sounds amiss turn volume down and shut off immediately. Your subsystem should have some advice on this.

If you have two pair of outputs for an amp, it would be best to use one pair of those to the subs. Y cables will work if you only have one pair of outs.

I have to make a decision on a second sub.This decision is driving me nuts!Can't choose between buying something like a svs or hsu new.Or to buy a more expensive used 1.Not sure if the quality of a lesser priced new sub would = or be better then a older more expensive 1.Going to make a decision this week.I freaking hope..and so do those all around me..I think even my 8 year old knows sup specs now.
