Disconnect the woofer

Sorry to get back so late. The speakers are Mag 20.1 and I disconnected the woofer by not hooking the wire from the crossover to the woofer inputs on the panels. I am using open baffle subs for 110 Hz and lower and it sounds great. I split the signal from my preamp. One leg to my amp and then to the Mags and the other to a Velodyne SMS1 and then to another amp where the output signal has low pass of 110 Hz at an 18 db/oct filter. This is what Magnepan recommends as a frequency and slope if I choose to bi-amp. As to why I did this, is because the Mag woofer is the worst part of the speaker. The mids and highs are glorious, but the woofer is not very dynamic and need tons of power. WTH, who needs that? This is just an experiment though, but I must admit, it does sound good. Thanks for all the feedback.

Yes, it seems that I am passivly bi-amping the Mid/high by sending a full range signal through the maggie crossover. I did this because I did not want to mess with the best part of the speaker. I couldn't do a better job at voicing the speaker than the manufacturer could. So all I am doing is cutting off the woofer panel and actively powering the lows (<110 Hz.) through an open baffled bass module. I tried removing the jumpers and hooking to the mid/high of the external crossover but I got no sound at all this way. I don't know why.
