Can I use the 12.1 subwoofer with an external crossover and separate power amp channel?

Yes. The 12.1 has an internal passive crossover but you can also use an active crossover and power the subwoofers from a different amplifier channel than the satellite speakers. Using the 12.1 this way also allows for larger and more flexible installations.

When using an active crossover, the recommended crossover range is anywhere between 60 Hz and 160 Hz. Use higher frequencies for the 3.2, and lower ranges for the 4.2 and

6.2.Different rooms can sound better with different crossover points, even using the same speakers, so experiment with what sounds best for your speakers and room. Use as 12-24db crossover slope.
