Hi Trell, how are you connecting them all? Could you describe a bit (e.g. laptop --> via usb --> m2 ---> XLR? ---> sub --> XLR? --> speakers?)?
From MOTU M2 I use USB connection.
For cable from subwoofer to the monitors I use a pair of these XLR male-XLR female.

From MOTU M2 to the subwoofer I use a pair of these TRS-XLR male:
Balanced audio cable Length: 3.0 m, XLR 3-pin male to jack 6.3 mm TRS (stereo/balanced) male, Conductor area: 2x 0.22 mm², PVC sheath, 95% cover, Diameter: 6.0 mm, Colour: Black

Edit: For my other Genelec 2.1 setup I use these nice cables that are a little more expensive, from subwoofer to monitor. They are quite flexible and lays nicely:
Professional Microphone Cable Length: 3 m, CMK 222 FLEX meterware, 0.22 mm², Diameter: 6.15 ± 0.2 mm, Conductor resistance: 85 Ohm/km, NEUTRIK XLR female black / XLR male black

A big benefit of having a subwoofer is to place it where the response is the best before using GLM for calibration, so having long enough cables for this is needed. You can use GLM to do a quick calibration for each placement of the subwoofer to see the response at each placement.
The Genelecs are quite sensitive so only a small portion of the M2 volume pot is usable unless you turn down the volume in the speaker via GLM (same as changing input sensitivity). I set it to -15 which at full volume is very loud but does not blow my ears off. You must set it from GLM via "Store to loudspeaker" (or similar name) in GLM.
