Vandersteen 2w sub hookup

Hello group,

 

I have recently purchased a group of Vandys. As a long time fan, thought the deal was too good to pass up.

 

I have so many questions about hooking up the 2W’s

 

i do know for sure that there is no crossovers coming with the product. So I will have no w2 or such as a crossover.

 

My experience is with hooking up subs with LFE. I have none in regards going “old school” hookup methodology.

 

the main speakers will be vandy 3’s (just 3’s, no 3a or 3a sig). How would I go about incorporating these two subs to go with the 3’s.  I have 2x 7 channel amps. One is running only the LCR. The other is handling the 4 others in bed layer and also the 2 height channels. Want to try and keep the amp section as follows to keep the wattage the same for the LCR. 
 

Any suggestions would be awesome thanks!

Find a used Vandy XO or buying a new one would work

I have a 2 channel and HT mixed use system.
My approach is the two channel with the 2W.
I have yet to add a sub to the HT side, but I have 4 subs to choose from 🤔 Just need to box them up and get a wriggle on.

But I also have a Butt Shaker(TM) (tactile transducer) that I’ll probably to shake out the curry… as the Haus-Boss doesn’t appreciate loud noises.

But she is way better with the Vandy HT system sound, than she was with any of the Klipsch stuff she heard in the shops. 

Mixed use systems are some what difficult as are mixed use rooms.
