Connecting a sub which way to go

I have a NAD165 Pre-amp and a Nad 365 amp I am connecting a SVS SB13 Ultra into the system. The 165 has a sub output,but is it better to use that or the signal between the pre amp and the amp stripping off the bottom end signals say 15HZ to 80 sending rest on to the amp?  The SVS has both a high pass and a low pass filter. The rest of my system is Paradigm S3 V2's and Triad Silver Monitor's

Paul McGowan (PS Audio) syas to use speaker cable from your amp to the sub. I scratched my head why speaker cables (main amp binding posts) to a powered sub, but it was a nice improvement 

However, I now have an Audio Alchemy DPA-1 (class D) AA says NOT to connect via binding posts, so.... check with the mfg
