LFE vs. Line in, which is better?

Which is the best way to hook the sub up to my receiver? I mainly watch movies. I understand that the LFE uses the receiver to crossover and the line in uses subs internal crossover, but I unsure if when the sub is hooked up using the line in, does it still get is sound from the .1 descrete track on Dolby digital and DTS? I seem to get louder bass when I use the line in, but I am afraid that I am missing something if I use this connection. When using the line in, does the sub just get bass from the 2 front speakers?

Anyone know how this works?

It's not that important which way you connect. Understand it the sub output

from your receiver that sends the .1 LFE in movies not the subs input.

Some like the LFE and other like the left right input.

hmmm. that is a great point. Thanks. What do you know about the sub being close to projection TVs? I read in another post to keep them far away, but my sweet spot is right beside mine. I don't see any problems visually, could this hurt my TV?

If you don't notice any disscoloration right now you typically

should not have any problems. Just keep a eye on it.

The major difference is the disabling of the sub's cross-over. Most (99.9%) of the time, people should disable the sub's cross-over, because they are using the cross-over in their receiver. Therefore, disabling the cross-over is advantageous over simply setting the cross-over to its maximum value.
