Pairing of different JL Audio Subwoofers


I have an E112 subwoofer and I am looking to add another sub. Can I add a F112 to take advantage of the Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system? Or should I find another E112 to pair it with?

This is great news. @millercarbon, I never thought that having more would reduce the need to EQ the room. Thanks for the link.

@kr4, I am glad to hear that you have a similar setup. This gives me all gives me a piece of mind.

Would you recommend I daisy chain them or wire them using the two subwoofer outputs from the preamp?
Just read that the Fathom has to be set to MASTER and all others (up to 10) to SLAVE. Then to daisy chain each slave sub with XLR cables from the sub designated the master. When set up in this way all subs are measured and corrected as a single entity.

@mijostyn, you may have a valid point. Since the cabling configuration does not seem to support my vision of using F112 as the slave, I may just have to aggregate one or two more subs. Really don't want to go this route but seems like there is not other way.
This might be a problem as the F112 has a XLR output and the E112 does not accept XLR input. I would have to use the RCA output of the E112 to input it into the F112. 

I wonder if the D.A.R.O. would still work in this configuration.
Thanks kr4. After some sound boarding with you all, I think I will pull the trigger on getting the F112 after all. Time to search for this adapter. 

Thanks for everyone's input. I truly appreciate your experience and words of reason. 
@imhififan, this may be option. I hope there isn't too much degradation, at least nothing audible.
Any specific brand recommendation for this XLR to RCA adapter?
