3 applications for Jl audio subs crossovers?
Two channel subs would be what I would want (and use) but only if high passing the mains. So an external crossover would be needed. Active digital is the best IMO but you don't want that...Can't see needing 3 subs for surround unless your room is ...

Best REL Subwoofer for Magnepan 3.6's

1 large subwoofer or 2 smaller ones...?

Can you run a subwoofer on multiple systems?
I run a pair of jl audio E112 subs in two systems (two channel and surround with pass through) and leave both connected all the time. I even go one step farther and connect the high pass to my mains and using surround rout the 0.1 channels to the ...
