Speaker level connection

When using the speaker level connection, is there any difference in hooking up using{Method 1}- the second set of speakers outs to the sub, or [method 2]-going amp>sub>speakers route?
Does method 2 receive the full signal to the front speakers(bypassing the subs filter) also, or does it get filtered by the sub crossover.

I was under the impression that [method 2] would send the frequencies under what your subcrossover is set at to the sub, and the frequencies over that to your speakers, now that you asked this I am unsure.
I also would like to know how the frequencies are filtered.
Hopefully a member with more knowledge will let us know soon.
I don't mean to hijack your thread Doc99; I have a subwoofer coming that has line level and speaker level ins and outs. I had planned on hooking the preouts from my receiver to the sub and then to my amplifiers. My theory being , why amplify the entire signal if you are going to filter some of it outat the sub crossover. Is this a reasonable assumption? -
Right!I have read though that the speaker cable going to the subs amp does not draw any power from the receiver. I am not sure how this works, but it acts as if it was not an amplified line. I also read that some people (for music) prefer the speaker level connection.

I just read this. It seems now that when you hook up using a daisy chain connection,AMP>SUB>SPEAKERS, the sub still passes through the full frequency to the speakers. Speaker level connection:This configuration will only work if you set your subwoofer to "Off" and your front speakers to "Large." By doing this, a full-frequency signal (including the LFE and the bass from "Small" speakers) will go to the receiver's front speaker-level outputs and on to your subwoofer. The sub's built-in filter will block the higher frequencies and produce only the deep bass. Then, your sub will pass on the unfiltered full-frequency signal to the front speakers.
