"...do you mean from the "output to speakers" binding posts on the sub?" Yes, that's why I said, "run speaker wires from the "output to speakers" binding posts to the speakers."
It is never good to send speakers a signal they cannot reproduce. All that does is generate heat in the voice coils of the drivers.
Yes, your speakers do have a crossover. That's what that high-pass filter is. The kind of crossover they have doesn't affect how you connect a sub.
"Crossover" is not an evil word. It is not something that detracts from your system's reproduction, put there by designers who want their speakers to sound lousy. It enables speakers to sound their best by sending all drivers signals they can reproduce, and *not* send them signals they cannot reproduce.
