SUBWOOFER x OVER

It sounds like to me that the unfiltered high pass is implying that it doesn't implement a crossover for your main speakers. I've found it's best to cross your sub over as low as possible (40hz-60hz) and center your sub in between your speakers. What are the subs your are looking at?

Nice, Yogiboy! I have an svs sub also and love it. Svs makes great subs. What are your main speakers and how big is your room and how much bass do you want?

I like to run my paradigm studio 20's full range, not crossed over, and I set the crossover on my sub between 40hz-50hz. This set-up sounds great to me with perfect integration. If I set my crossover on the sub any higher, the sound becomes slightly muddied.

I prefer to run my main speakers full range as to not introduce another crossover to them, and I just want my sub to pick up where my mains drop off. I also prefer centering my sub between the main speakers because bass for me, is somewhat directional. Placing it in the corner of a room makes it louder but less accurate.

That sb 1000 looks like a great sub for the money, and in my opinion, sealed boxed subs are better for music. The don't have the sheer output of a ported design, all things being equal, but they provide a tighter bass.

Did you order the 1000? Nice speakers by the way. I think a sub will fill in the bottom end and that you'll be really happy. Try centering your sub, run your speakers full range, cross your sub over at 40-60 hz and don't turn your sub up too loud. It will be a subtle change but I think you'll like it. It should fill in the bottom bass notes and give you more depth to your soundstage while sounding seamlessly integrated. I'm looking into a n aurelex subdude. You might want to check them out too!
