RE: "just the 2 way with the sub outputs" ...

... as you are just replacing the external (bass panels/mids+tweeters) XO box.

Yes, you can do this with a 2-way active XO ... but this means you are:
* using the subs' own LP filter
* and running the 3.6s full range.

But a better arrangement, I suggest - which you can do with a miniDSP unit - is to apply a HP filter to the bass panels. This:
a. reduces the distortion that the single-ended bass panels have when they excurt at low frequencies (and get (relatively!) far away from the magnets), and
b. lessens the load on the amplifier driving the bass panels.
