You shouldn't be missing anything, but the caveat is you MUST make sure you know what your processor's bass management is doing, i.e. make sure you have subwoofer set to OFF, and mains to large, and everything else to small (assuming you are looping the speaker level sub connections in the mains). That way all the 5-channel's bass along wiht the LFE will be sent to the mains, which is where your sub is connected.
This can be a useful way to hook things up if you can't use a subwoofer in two-channel direct mode via the regular subwoofer output. Some receivers are like this, and in order to utilize the sub output on stereo inputs, you need to engage bass management, which is another set of digital conversion and processing which may degrade the signal.
