JL Audio 113 sub without external crossover


Can I run my martin logan odyssey's full range and use a JL Audio 113 fathom without any external crossover?. Are there any members doing it without the external crossover? My ML's go down to 35hz.

I would prefer the 113 fathom over an Ml Descent sub, but could get by with no crossover with the descent. JL Audio prefers to have the sub handle everything from 80hz down. Could I get by having the 113 fathom come in at 55 hz with no external crossover?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the answers, I am glad to see that I could run the 113 without the crossover. Cruz - I have a Martin Logan depth sub now in the system coming in at 35hz.

The reason I wanted to get the 113 is thatI have read it is very clean from 80 hz down. If I got the descent, I would run it in at 35hz. The descent i has the crossover built right in already.I only planned on buying 1 sub , even though JL Audio recommends 2 subs, 1 beside each speaker with an external crossover bring the subs in at 80hz.As mentioned , the main speakers will run cleaner.

However, that's a lot of money, 2 subs, crossover and extra wiring.I read a post on the ML owners forum where an ML dealer did mention that they preferred to bring in the descent at 35hz, but when it came to the JL Audio subs, he said they preferred the 80hz setting. He is both an ML and JL Audio dealer.

Cruz - the first 2 respondents to the thread weould also be duplicating 35 hz to 35hz and didn't seem to have any problems.
