I'm going from memory, but I know the information is somewhere in that long Bucket Sub thread on The Horn Shoppe forum.
If you're using the DIY Magic Cable from the outputs of your tube amp into the RCA inputs of your Dayton amp, Ed suggested making one with a 600 ohm resistor instead of his normal recommendation of 10k ohms. The 600 ohms doesn't have to be exact. I used the 10k cable I already had made up between my tube amp and Crown, and just had to turn the volume pots on the Crown up more then I would have had to with a 600 ohm resistor.
I can't use the Magic Cable method with my First Watt F1J, which is my best amp, so I'm going to have to add an extra pair of female RCA jacks to my Truth output when I start using that again. You simply parallel interconnects out of the Truth into the Crown and whatever amp you're using.
The Crown XLS owners manual has the information on how to connect one sub or two, and required settings. You may want to download that in advance (link below) so you have an idea of what you're going to do when your amp gets there.
Oh, and if your Crown is anything like mine, it came with plastic plugs in the binding posts (shown below). I wanted to use speaker cable with banana plugs, so I had to remove these plastic plugs, and it was VERY difficult to remove them. I managed to get three of them out using hemostats, but the last one wouldn't budge. I finally got so frustrated that I drove a wood screw into the plastic plug, and pulled it out with a pair of pliers.
