XLR male to female. That’s for between the crossover’s low output to the EP2500. If you’re running the EP bridged mono, then you’ll only need one cable from the crossover.

I was just searching google for a place to buy XLR cables and they average around $25 a piece! This might add up to $100 easily,..ouch!

Typically what they’re selling you is “mic cables,” which are usually 12 ft. or longer. I doubt you need anything that long. Poke around the recording studio section of a store or on-line vendor; that’s your best bet to find something shorter (and hopefully cheaper) that’s intended for an equipment rack.

Also, how important is the quality of the XLR cables because I saw a craigslist post for a Box of cables (7 XLR) and plenty of mic clips(including stereo pair mounting bracket) $30.

The main problem with cheap XLR cables is that they don’t hold up well when used on a stage, where they get handled all the time, jerked around, stepped on, etc. In a static home installation, where none of that applies, they’ll do fine.
