How to integrate a sub with 2-channel mains?

I've done a ton of searching and haven't been able to come up with an answer to this... Hopefully some of you can help!

I currently am running a DIY BP1503 for my home theater/television, and it is everything I want for that. Howerver, I want to get a second sub for 2-channel music; probably a UFW-10, something much "faster".

What would be the best way to integrate this with my mains? I've seen many people post that they did this, but as near as I can tell, they are not using their processor to xover the mains and sub... How do they hook these up and cross them over?

Thanks in advance!

I use a paradigm x-30 crossover with my 2 channel setup and sub. You can pick one up for around 100.00 used.

I run the Mains full range. Here is a trick,Reverse your + and - on your mains, put in stereophile test cd 2 play the bass wobble tone and adjust the phase of the sub with a rat shack db meter until the db is lowest, then correct your main + and - and your sub will be perfectly phased. This is far mor acurate than by ear.
