I currently have 805S's and a Rotel RC-06 preamp and would like to add dual subs and seamlessly integrate them with the bookshelves. I'm at a loss here and have no idea where to begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
How to incorporate dual subs?

You could connect the preamp outs to the built in crossover in the sub. And then route the the subwoofers high pass outputs (most subs have them) to you amp.
You can also do as you mentioned without a crossover assuming your bookshelf speaker's response doesn't extent below the lowest crossover frequency of the sub.

Let me instruct you, young grasshopper. :B
The Low Level Inputs is where you connect the output of your preamp.
You can then connect the Low Level Outputs (high pass output) to the main amp powering your satelite (front) speakers.
I hope that helps. If not feel free to ask more questions.John unk:

It filters out the low frequencies of the satelite speakers, so that there's no overlap between the subwoofer and satelites. This helps make the sound cleaner and you get a flatter frequency response.
One thing I missed. You say your using dual subs? So you should just connect the left preamp outputs to left channel inputs of the left sub. And, connect the right preamp outputs to right channel inputs of the right sub.
Do the same with the sub outputs when connecting to your amp.John unk:

The crossover will determine what the sub plays. But many subs high pass output is a fixed frequency (usually around 80hz). You might want to check your manual, or with the manufacter (If you have an SVS just call or email them - they are very helpful)- Bottom
