Subwoofer hook up


Perhaps a dumb question, but here goes. I'm getting a pair of small Magnepan that will no doubt benefit from a sub. I'm using a NAD C372 integrated that does not have a dedicated sub out jack (it does have pre amp outs). So what I'm wondering is: if I use the high level inputs on the sub (Athena AS 400)...where I run speaker wire from the amp to the sub, then from the sub to the speakers....will the adjustable crossover in the sub filter the signal going to the Maggies? In other words...if I set the xover at 80hz, will that prevent the Maggies from seeing lower frequencies? Thanks for the thoughts.

Thanks, but no one has answered the question. WILL the xover setting on the sub filter the low frequencies going to the Maggies IF I wire them as described?
As it turns out, it doesn't matter anyway. After setting up the Maggies, there is more than enough wonderful, musical bass. As a previous Maggie owner, I should have known this, but feared that the smaller MG12 would be deficient. It isn't!! So...no sub for 2 channel!
