Passive preamp RCA output to SUB amp? Question on current configuration

Posted by bullethead on June 30, 2017 at 03:40:12:
Let me try to sum this up,
Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE preamp
Balanced output from that into Merrill Audio Taranis amp
Unbalanced RCA output from same preamp to Anthony Gallo Reference SA subwoofer amp
Just a question it is not as in my face with the sub bass as compared to an active preamp same configuration. Have the sub amp set at max + 6db , volume levels at max on the sub amp.
Can anything be done about this or is it just a sound that I should get used to because it is a difference between passive versus active preamplification?
