dude, there is an easy solution to this. use the L/R preouts (NOT the subLFE out) to the sub. This will mean adding another subwooker cable, and a getting a splicer to join the L/R outs to one cable(Monster makes them). most subs have 2 inputs, so this shouldn't too much of a problem. you don't need a stinkin preamp.
