It depends upon what you have. If you have a surround receiver,
then you connect all speakers to that, but if you don't, then you
use the powered subwoofer to power the speakers. Check with
your powered subwoofer's owner's manual for details.

In some subwoofer/satellite systems, there is a filter built into the subwoofer which splits the low bass in the music signal so it goes only to the subwoofer, leaving higher frequencies for the satellite speakers.
In other systems, the full music signal is sent to both satellites and subwoofer, but because the speaker units in most satellites have a smaller diameter, they won't reproduce any really deep bass anyway.
Better quality subwoofers have their own power amplifier built in, and come with a filter to feed the higher frequencies to the satellites. This prevents the low frequencies from overloading the satellites.

The subwoofer provides the bass frequencies. If your speaker setup is bassy enough for you then there is no need for the subwoofer (most speakers have a bass componant).
Also subwoofer sare usually in 5.1 systems (2 front L/R, one front centre, 2 rear L/R being the 5 and the subwoofer being the 1)
If your system is not 5.1 then it won't automatically have the subwoofer - and if you don't require the extra bass in your 5.1 setup you don't need to connect it.

Depends on the subwoofer and the speakers, but mainly it takes the audio signal takes for the subwoofer and passes on to the speakers all the higher frequency signals and passes them on to the speakers. But you do not have to wire the speakers and subwoofer in this manner if your receiver can pass the two signals in this same manner.

because the speakers cant handle the bass.. so they pass thru the sub first to output the bass then the sound to the speakers.. i konw thats true for the BOSE speakers setups..
i have my custom bult set up.. and have the sub and speakers connected directly to the reciever..
