I bought a sub to try in my 2 channel system, this will be the first time I have ever tried a sub in 2 channel. I am just hoping i can get it to blend in somewhat with my mains, which are pretty flat to about 90hz. I think I will start by crossing over the sub/mains at 100hz and work from there. We shall see if there is improvment or not...

I would avoid running the mains through a Xover if at all possible (unless you're using a SSP), and run them at full range. Then you play with Xover frequency and slope on the low pass for the sub to get the best integration, and use EQ on the sub.
