Obviously it wasn't and that's a shame because JerryS is an extremely knowledable and helpful member, not someone that should be discouraged from posting.It appears to me the original post was interested in opinions and experiences on the subject of high-pass vs low-pass subwoofer connection and it's unfortunate anyone would use it for chest beating, something I'd like to discourage.
JerryS has a wealth of good info and advise at his site linked below.

Hi Antonio,
I change amps quite often, and I think my comment is correct. When you change amps using the high-level sub input, even for one of significantly greater or lesser power, the volume of the subs changes proportionally. The crossover frequency of the sub is dependent on the main speaker, so no change there is needed.There may be some minor tweaking if you change from a soft and flabby tube amp to a way-tight and controlled solid state amp, for example, but the settings should stay almost completely unchanged.
Please tell us why you think this is incorrect.
Hi Jerry,You have a very good point, it would be absolutely correct if amplifiers where wires with gain...
Even though the volume of the signal changes proportionally, amplifiers react differently to the load of the speakers, again, with easy speakers the difference would be negligible...
