Best Subwoofer Connection

OK, so I'm waiting on delivery of a JL Audio e110 subwoofer. I have a 2 channel setup. The on-line manual recommends connecting the preamp outs to the subwoofer's line in (l/r), and then going from the sub's line outs to the power amp. OTOH, I could just go from the second set of preamp outs to the sub's line in and run the signal in parallel without using the sub's internal xover. Which connection is preferred and best for a music only setup? I've searched this issue here, but I haven't found an answer that makes sense to me. Thanks.

 The only time I found it necessary to use my subwoofers high pass filter was when my main power amp was not powerful enough to drive the main speakers. 

 Considering the many variables when adding a subwoofer system I would suggest you try both methods of connectivity as well as placement.
