Separate Crossover for JL f112 Subwoofer?


Is the separate Crossover really necessary for JL f112
Subwoofer or I can just run the cables from Preamp and
use the JL onboard crossover. Thanks

I don't think it's necessary. I'm use an F113 with a pair of Avalon Indras, and they blend really well together. Not getting any annoying overlap. Very pleased with the result.
Sound like you talked with the JL tech guy. I've called JL tech service twice and both times I've been switched to Barry Ober. He is an independent audio shop owner http://www.soundoctor.com. He promotes the use of outboard crossovers and happens to sell them. He doesn't have much to say in support of the use of JL's excellent onboard crossover although he doesn't dismiss them either. Very odd arrangement JL has IMHO.

Yes. I spoke to tech guy but I cannot to recall the name.
It could be the same guy. I was told the same thing.
My speakers goes down to 40Hz so it shouldn't be a problem
to use JL's onboard crossover. I also spoke to the guy's from
Store that sell's JL's and they hooked up Jeff Rowland Capri
to JL f112. For main speakers they used Sonics bookshelf
speakers. Sound was great and when I asked them about external
crossover, they just said NO.
Thanks
