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

I own Eggleston Works Andra 2 speakers. I am doing exactly the same as you questioned.
That is, running the Andras full out and the JL-113 crossing over at about 55hz with a 12 db slope.
Once the Fathom 113 is calibrated it sounds extremly integrated with the Andras.

IMHO an electronic crossover would complicate or alter the sound purity. Not to mention more $$$ cables .
