how to hook up subwoofer?

Hi guys, this may be a atupid question here. There's an auction here in town today where all the stuff of a higher end audio store that closed is on sale.

I thought about getting a subwoofer if the price is right but wasn't sure how to hook it up on my 2-channel system since there's no dedicated output.

I've got a Musical Fidelity A308cr preamp and a pair of Electrocompaniet AW220 amps.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not your preamp inputs but, perhaps, your preamp's outputs! OTOH, there is no generic answer since we do not know what connections the unidentified sub has.

If it is a REL they are best connected to the output of your power amp.

You can also connect the sub to the systems Tape monitor outs but variable Pre-out might be better as you have to adjust the volume if you use the tape outs and usually can adjust the volume less often when using the preamp variable outs

"You can also connect the sub to the systems Tape monitor outs....." Always a bad idea.
