Instructions are available in your manual, Pg 10

For this you need an electronic crossover such as provided by Marchand

Bryston
Audio Research
Krell
If you are all digital consider the Behringer digital crossover, it can be modified by Endleraudio (cheap and effective), RAM, Tweakaudio, and Underwood HiFi http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?misceqal&1247877576

Also, as an initial effort, instead of biwiring (manual page 11) from one amp, connect the bass wires to the new bass amp. It is not as big a change as with an electronic crossover, it is still a major improvement simply due to lowering the strain on the upper amplifier.

An interesting option for amplification is a multichannel amp like the Parasound 52 and the Adcom 7805, http://www.stereophile.com/solidpoweramps/304adcom/ Or any of the great amplifier builder's multichannel efforts. Many were reviewed by AV revolution http://www.avrev.com/equipment-reviews/equipment+reviews/home+theater+power+amplifiers/multi-channel+amplifiers/order/rdate/limit/5/start/0.html

Good luck
