Adding two JL Audio F110's to my 2 channel system


I am running Focal Diablo Utopia's with my BAT vk-300x integrated.  As good as the Diablo's sound they need a little help in my 2800+ cf room.  Hence, adding two F110's.  What is the best way to hook these up?  The f110's have a balanced Neutrik receptacle as well as line level inputs.  I would like to use the balanced preamp out on my BAT.  So, do I need a balanced cable with Neutrik connector on one end for the sub and standard XLR connector on other end for the BAT?

BTW, tried getting a hold of JL audio but customer service never answers phone or returns messages.  Any guidence would be appreciated.

I'm using two of the same subs, and I have to agree with James633.

The only correct way to do it, is with the active crossover.

That was actually suggested to me by JL tech people.

I'm using Pass Labs XVR1, but if it too expensive for you now, you could use one o the MArchand's designs, or JL own crossover.

My problem now is I don't think I can use a crossover unit with my BAT 300x integrated.  Don't think it has appropriate connections on rear panel.
"James633,
The Jl audio e-112 comes equipped with its own active high pass crossover. Here is a quote from their website "The E-Sub’s active crossover is a true two-way, 4th order Linkwitz-Riley design, with a low-pass filter feeding the subwoofer’s amplifier and a high-pass filtered signal exiting its line outputs.

yes that this is the way I run it. It seems transparent to me. I tried it with out the crossovers and it was not near as well integrated.
