JL e110 sub


hi guys,
I just bought a JL e110 sub.  I understand that it has a low pass filter.
When the active crossover is on, the low freq signal is filtered into the sub.
But I also get low frequency signal into my main speakers?

Is that the way it's supposed to be?  Anyone with experience with this sub?

thanks

actually i read that thread. 
But it's still not very clear.

I put the subwoofer between the preamp and amp, utilizing the JL's internal crossover.

When I set the sub crossover at 60 hz, and when I play a test track of 50 hz, am I supposed to hear output from the speakers also?  or should they be dead quiet, since all the signal is going to the sub?

thanks again
i am using a locally built tube preamp and amp

there is no sub output from the preamp so i need to place the sub in between and use the internal crossover

speakers are totem hawks for now but getting new ones soon

i don't quite get how crossover works.  I thought if you set the freq to say 60 hz, then there is no signal going to the main speakers.  If there is, then essentially i am running the speakers full range, and supplementing freq below 60hz with the sub.  How do people connect to subs at line level without crossover.....so confusing
