Subwoofer Hook Up with Passive Monitors

If you are using passive (non-powered) monitors that require an external amplifier, connect the two outputs of the subwoofer to the inputs of the stereo monitor amplifier. Typically this would also be a XLR connector, but if need be, you can use the other connections providing the amplifier will accept them at the amp input. Connect the power amplifier to the speakers as you normally would. Do not attempt to hook the speaker output of the monitor amplifier to the input of the subwoofer. By doing so, you run the risk of damaging the equipment.
