Best way to Crossover JL Audio F110 into system


I just purchased a JL Audio sub and want to use a crossover to maximize both the sub and my Sonus Faber Olympica III's. I know that JL has a crossover for 3k, but was looking for "better and possibly more economical" way to achieve this. 

Any my feedback would be appreciated.

"Finally (and separately) and with all due respect, as to the suggestion above from a member that you should drop the sub because your "SFs completely out class it;" well, that is complete nonsense. I’m not comparing SF with JLA in saying this, what I’m saying is that having a great sub (which you have) well integrated into your system will, in fact, enhance the overall performance and experience. Your SFs are very nice to be sure, but they will be even nicer with the sub, assuming it is properly worked into the mix. "

You can call it nonsense but the reality is there’s no reason

to expect the sub to integrate well. You're taking a 14k speaker that is made by a company that believes in giving they're products a "house sound", and matching it with a budget HT sub. And lets not forget the amp. Is the amp in the sub going to match the speed, definition and power of what the OP is using on the SF's? Taking both the differences in the amps and speakers overall quality and performance into consideration, please explain to me why you would expect a seamless crossover and equal sound quality from both units?

Yes, the OP already has the sub, so try it. But the odds are, the match will most likely end up sounding like a car stereo, and not a high end system. Common sense, at least to me, would be to match the speakers with a sub of similar quality.

In rereading my above post I may have given the wrong impression of the F-113. I was able to integrate the JL very nicely into my system just using the ARO method. Its 13" driver giving up little, if at all, to the Velodyne's 18" unit.  

Coincidently, JL Audio is a car audio manufacture. I believe the F-series was their first entry into home audio. Its inclusion of its ARO system and the quality of its fit and finish it was reviewed very well in audio only systems not only for its basic subwoofer performance but for the ease of its automated equalization method.

hambone, I meant to suggest weighing the purchase of a JL Audio version II ARO sub and slaving the input of your current 1-10". 

Also, I should confess to being a Velodyne fan boy because of the Digital Drive and Digital Drive Plus' multi band ability to compare visual equalization and multiple preset memory of Q, phase angle, and gain etc., with the sonic results they provide.    
I am currently using a DEQX Preamp which has crossover functions along with its many other features. But, it still costs more bucks than I think you want to spend.

I'm not faulting you, or any other poster here. Also, I'm not saying anything bad about JL Audio. It's just my opinion, but I just don't see how you could make a sub like that work given the other components in the OP's system. That said, the OP already has the sub, so he should still try it. Who knows how it will sound. I just wouldn't get my hopes up. If we don't give the OP this info now, he may be pulling his hair out trying to figure out why the sub isn't integrating properly. 

mgreen27 not at all.

For anybody new to adding a sub there is so much room for dissatisfaction especially when so many products lack the adjustability to integrate well.
