"If you use speaker wire then you are by-passing the high pass x-over in the sub and the speakers will be running full range. "Yup. (I misread HP as LP.)
EDITED.

Is that true of all powered subs you've seen? I never realized going high level (speaker) in would make you lose HP out for the speakers. TIA.

Depends on the sub, of course, and exactly how you make the connections.

If you are not going through the x over in the sub are not the speakers running full range? Can you please explain?
Thanks
on the speaker or interconnect level @ 80hz...I was windering wich one is the way yo go.
What is the sub you are using? Most subs have a high pass 80 hz filter when you go from preamp into sub then back into the amp. If you do it that way the main speakers be filtered from 80hz and below. If you don't use the xover in the sub using speaker cable then the speakers will run full range. You should also have a low pass filter to adjust the low range that you want the the sub to operate at .Here is typical set up for most subwoofers. Check out page 8,9,and10.

Thanks, yes, I understand the 80hz roll-off from the sub Xover (which is what I want)..I was wondering which sounded better: IC's or speaker wire. My sub is a Source Technology (sourcespeaker.com) made from the guy who used to make JSE (John Sollicito Enginering) speakers.
I've always used IC's when using a sub with a 80 hz high pass filter. You can try speaker cables and find which method you prefer.
