    If you had your sub running full range or crossed over too high then you would get more volume but it would sound like crap. If you crossed it over at say 80 Hz then it would be much more musical and not drown out the midrange but it wouldnt be as loud.

    that's not a great idea, unless you have another amp to hook it up to...only four speakers can go into a four channel amp without having to use a crossover. not four pairs. that's gonna sound a little funky and not well.
