I use the following set up, basically I connect the pre outs from the front left/right of my AV receiver to the crossover, connect the low-pass for each of the left and right channels to amplifiers that drive the 2 subs, and connect the hi-pass back into the pre-in's of the AV receiver... Use the bass management of your receiver to direct all bass to the front left/right pair.
