I mean if you think about it, you lose ALOT of material when not using the full range of each channel.

What material do you lose? In fact, the opposite is true.
When speakers are set to small on any channel,
all the material above the crossover goes to the speaker, while
all the material below the crossover goes to the sub.
The sub is designed to handle material below the crossover far more efficiently and with better low frequency extension than a regular speaker. So in effect, you lose material when running speakers full range and you don't lose material when using a sub.
In addition, you are able to equalize a sub, where it is difficult to do so with regular speakers.
