one x1 + 1 hd15 + 1 xti 2000 - external xover = ?

here's the scenario...

im probally going to be reinforcing a soundsystem that is already built for a dubstep show. i wanted to build and add for the night a couple of subs since dubstep is predominately reliant on bass and i figured another sub or two couldnt hurt.

almost done building an x1. waiting for the driver to come in. everything else is sorted.

i thought that since it was in my budget, instead of building another x1, i could build an hd15 instead. not only does it ease up my pockets a lil since the eminence kappa 15LF i plan on using is about $200 less than another sd-18, but i figured it would balance out the x1 a lil and give some extra punch in the higher sub frequencies. this is more of a budget issue if anything else, trust, im building more x1's and hd15's in the future.

a close friend of mine who ive known for years is now a manager in a pro audio department of a certain chain of stores in the states. he said he could get me a brand new crown xti 2000 for roughly $450, which is nice.

i was originally planning on using this xti 2000 for running two x1's off of. here's my question tho.

was wondering about this specific amp. from my understanding, it has a limiter and crossovers already built onto it. does anyone know if i can run the x1 and the hd15 on it at the same time without an external digital crossover?...

are there seperate crossovers for each individual channel or are the crossovers on this amp used on both channels at the same time? id like to have the xover set for the x1 and have the hd15 set on the second channel. is this possible?

do they have seperate limiters as well?

cuz im thinking if this amp has limiters and xovers already built on them, i can save a lil money by not purchasing an external digital crossover.

does anyone have any experience with these amps? can i achieve what im speaking of?

seems people are pretty pissed about both the xti and the i-tech let alone crown altogether. kinda makin me think about switching over to qsc seeing as it seems to be the favored amp brand in the lower budget bracket.

good call, will keep this in mind!
