6" or 8" Monitors with 10" KRK Sub?

Hello, I am about to purchase a complete studio monitoring system consisting of a pair of KRK RP6 G2 or RP8 G2 studio monitors with the KRK 10S subwoofer. The question at hand is: should I go with the RP6 or RP8 pair? What are the advantages of each in this setup? Any comments on 6" vs. 8" monitors, in general? And their use with a subwoofer system, in general?

Some notes:

Sub position

I've learned my monitors (KRK RP6s) well enough that I can set bass levels reasonably well without actually hearing all the bass frequencies in the mix. But I can't hear the quality of those frequencies, if you know what I mean - I can't hear how defined or undefined the bass is and that sort of thing. So first question: is a sub going to help?

1832FX Mixer Setup for Subwoofer(s)

I acquired a Behringer XENYX 1832FX mixer; all works fine. But, I can’t seem to discreetly hook up a sub-woofer to it.

This is probably a simple question but, getting it right has eluded me. I have read through the manual several times and, the langauge just makes my eyes glaze over. It seems geared more to “Recording” approaches than straight “Playback” and “Setup” techniques.
