How to connect preamp to mixer?

I have a Mackie 8-24 mixer and am wondering how to connect an external preamp (when I get some). I looked at the wiring diagram for the board and it appears that I should use the "channel insert" to feed the signal to the board. This way I would be entering the board's input chain AFTER the Mackie's internal preamp.

How to connect a subwoofer if you've only got two outs

I have a pair of Genelec 1029A active monitors and am considering buying the subwoofer to go with them. But how should I connect it? I have a Behringer MX 2642A desk and an Audiowerk 2 card. At the moment the two outs from the card go into the desk group ins. How would the signal get split into the "bass" bit and the "rest"? Where do the cables go?
