I forgot to mention. if you high pass the JBLs to subwoofers at 80 to 100 Hz block those ports off on the JBLs. You no longer need them to enhance low bass and they are leaking muffled midrange. The low frequencies they enhance are being taken on by the subwoofers. Stuffing them with socks is not the right way to do this. You do want to pack them with Polyfil (Parts Express) then cover them with something attractive like 1/2" thick walnut cut to shape around the woofer so it reaches the four lower grill cloth sockets.. You can finish it with clear acrylic lacquer in a spray can sanding between coats with 320 grit sandpaper. It will require at least three wet coats. You can get the male pins to fit those sockets at Parts Express or you can remove them from the grills. You want to make sure there is some polyfil between the walnut and speaker around the ports. This is totally reversible should you ever want to sell the speakers.
I can't stress enough the power of digital signal processing when it comes to integrating subwoofers and tailoring the sound of your system. The MiniDSP SHD preamp does everything you need at the extremely reasonable price of $1300. I just set one up in my son in laws system and am very impressed. I you are computer literate you will enjoy this immensely and enter a whole new world of high fidelity. Plus your system will kick ass.
