Nrenter, what you describe is technically the same circuit as I describe (except tied together at the amp instead of at the sub) And it's a little better, yes, for the same reason bi-wiring can be. But with the scheme you describe, you could really be buying lots of speaker cable!
Either way, the sub is sampling the amp output through a filter circuit of it's own. I guess that's OK, but being the stickler for cleanliness and simplicity that I am, I insist the sub have its own direct line-level feed out of the preamp.
