Correct ... without a LPF the sub will be amplifying full range, not

The amplifier with amplify a full range signal causing it more stress

and it'll generate far more heat than it needs to. The driver in the
box won't reproduce
There is some volume control attenuation, but I think it only raises
to line-level. It would explain why most subwoofers I've seen also
have their own volume control...you wouldn't want to blow the
subwoofer by running its signal through an amplifier.

That ultimately depends on the subwoofer in question. My setup has two
subwoofers. One is a mid-sub which is crossed on
Outputs from amps are *typically* of six types.
1. Speaker outs (from power or integrated amps - not pre amps)
2. Monitor outs (non volume attenuated - as in tape loops)
3. Line outs (volume attenuated - to hook your power amps to)
4. LFE (Low Frequency out - volume attenuated - some with
Ok, from reading the numerous on and off topic posts, i believe the answer
to my question is: Yes, it is possible to use a Subwoofer with a line out
jack, provided that the subwoofer has its own low pass filter. Does that
sound right?

That is correct, especially as it is actually a crossover of the L and R
