Hi.
What's the best way to connect a susbwoofer to a stereo integrated amp, with preamp out?.

Cheers

Preamp out from the amp to the preamp in to the subwoofer. Adjust subwoofer crossover accordingly, should be ready to rock!

Thanks. My other question is, do I still connect the speakers to the integrated amp? I absolutely do not want to connect them to the sub.
Thanks, again.

Yes they stay connected to the amp. The only reason you'd connect them to a sub is if you ran the speaker cables from the amp to the sub using the subs crossover, then use it's outputs to the speakers.
