Subwoofer Crossover Question


What would be the starting point for Subwoofer integration with a pair of speakers that has the Frequency response below. Any layman explanation for what the -6db at 23Hz signifies and how this might relate to subwoofer crossover into a two channel music system, (two Rel Strata III's) will also be appreciated.

Frequency Response 28Hz to 25kHz ±2dB, -6dB at 23Hz

I agree. I run my Maggie 1.7s full range and my SVS subs crossover at 40 Hz. That seemed very low to me, but it was a factory, recommendation and it works beautifully. I have a Antimode on each sub and I run them is stereo. That made a big improvement over mono. For a while you will likely have them running too high and too loud, but you will find music with not much bass sounding better due to imaging. You will have a good time exploring new limits in your system. Many opine subs would sound better if driven from the power amp, not taking away any power, but making a better match to the amps' own sound quality. If you don't go with room correction, this is another way to play with the sound. Enjoy!
