Or do you have to set the speaker to "large" temporary to allow both the sub and the speaker to play at the same time?
Yes, they do. Remember that the crossover filters are not precise cutoff points. They have a gradual slope where the frequencies above or below the filters are gradually cut out.

For example, at 80Hz high pass filter for the front speakers, the filter gradually sends the information over from the speakers to the subwoofer. Depending on the slope of the filter, some information below the crossover frequency will still get to the speakers.
