What would be wrong in getting the high frequencies through it?

Why would you want to put the high frequencies through a woofer? Have you looked at the response of a woofer as its frequency response rolls off at its upper limits? Or considered the distortion product a woofer produces as it reaches its limitations at either frequency extreme?
Additionally, unless the sub is then mounted immediately adjacent to the satellites, you will have two speakers producing the same frequencies but from different locations in the room and different locations relative to your ears. Combining the two direct signal paths with the two reflected signal paths will put a lot of "time smeared" information into the room. All of which will arrive at your listening position at slightly different times and play havoc with not only soundstaging, but just in terms of intelligibility the system will suffer.

sub out has crossover,, u can run any car sub which r much more high tech then most 300 - 400 $ power sub system, u just hook up a stereo reciever to the sub out and run the subs off the second amp , the signal is now crossed over usally at 100hz which means no high frequency plus a cleaner sound |

Jan how else would you work with a non-powered sub?
