You sound like a detail oriented individual -very precise! I recently acquired some 804 D3s which are almost broken in 100%. I'm using my old standby B&W ASW650 to satisfactory effect. Not to fussy (me) about crossover frequencies and such. I think I'm using 50hz. I just hook it up and turn it on and adjust the volume until I hear it making a difference. Really just that simple. All I'm trying to do is supplement what's already there from the 804s'. I have the 804s about two feet from the rear wall, 3.5 feet from side wall and 9.5 feet from me.
Now if I were in the market for a new sub, I'd go with a B&W D2 (2 eights placed back-to back) or a JL Fathom 112 v2. Velodyne 12 DD would also be a good choice but they seem to have dropped off my radar lately.
Subs do make a difference with these speakers unless they are right up against the back wall. When everything dialed in they can really rock.
