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

There is very little music below 30Hz, much kess 23Hz. I would not spend $ on a sub snd instead in an amp which matches well with your speakers. Also I would optimize the room and be certain the room is behaving correctly.
The often overlooked detail with subs is that they are not time aligned with the rest of the drivers and this why one well designed box is better unless a sub has been designed for the accompanying speakers. This is why so many subs have one-note-sub reputations. The low freq. detail is more clear only with time alignment. Can a sub work? Sure, but not a first choice for music (imho)unless needed due to a speaker low freq. limitation. Jallen
Which Aerial speakets? I have 10T's powered by 4 quicksilver monos and using plasma super tweeters crossed over at 3500k. Very enjoyable.
