How do you hook yours up?
I know this is a newbie question, but how do you guys hook up your JLs in a 2-channel system without a dedicated subwoofer output on your pre-amp? The instruction manual states that you can come straight out of the L-R outputs on the pre-amp connecting to a "Y" cable and send one set of L-Rs to the subwoofer and the other set to your amp. The instructions also say that you should use a good quality outboard crossover in the system to make sure the proper frequencies are sent to the speakers.
Also, if the pre-amp has both balanced and single ended outputs, can I use both at the same time, using the XLR output to the amp and the RCA output to the sub? |

Hi Mr Big,
There should be a "Main 2" output on your preamp. For 1 sub I use the main 2 left output to the left/mono input of my JL 113. Btw, The Main 1 output on your preamp would go to the input of your amp.

I have tried sub integration everyway possible. Buy an active crossover. Tacking a sub on at the bottom does not work. Some people do have a tolerance for it, and they will chime in. |

I heartily recommend the Bryston 10B-SUB. It can be ordered with either RCA or XLR connectors. I use XLR. The Bryston will let you sum the bass from both mains in a single sub if you want to do that. I went with two subs even though they are really playing in mono at that frequency. The effect on my two channel performance has been an order of magnitude improvement.

I have a question regarding unbalanced inputs on my F113
There are two inputs Left / Mono and right only, To left/LFE I connected my receiver for HT. To right I conected my Devialet that I use for stereo and sub so it's 2.1 basically. I didn't understood from user manual what is the difference between the inputs, Do I need Y splitter to connect my receiver and amplifier to LFE input (using them separately of course) or I can continue to use both inputs on F113 , one for integrating sub in to stereo and other for HT. Basically the question summarize in to : what is the difference between two inputs on F113 if I'm not using them for one stereo input. |
