Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass?


Sorry in advance if these are obvious questions.

I recently picked up two Rythmik L12 active subs to go with my Tekton Lore towers (10" full range driver with super tweeter). The Lores do an admirable job with deep bass (down to 30 HZ) but the L12s destroy them in quality and depth of the low-end.

The towers and subs use separate pre-amp outputs, but share one volume control. The subs are set at 80 HZ and below. Because the towers and subs currently share a lot of the same frequencies (which can potentially cause the bass to be overwhelming) is it possible to add an external crossover style device to cut 80 HZ and below from the main towers? It may improve the mids and highs if the tower drivers aren’t working as hard? And the sound may seem cleaner with greater instrument separation?

Thanks!

look at the new parasound halo integrated amp
it comes with built in crossover and good internal amp

I am going to use the halo amp to tri-amp my system 1digital.

i have the maggie 3.7 speakers driven by Oddesey mono amps 
coming off the halo crossover at 80 hz 

I have a pair of VMPS larger subs with alumn drivers , coming off the low frequencie output of Halo at 80hz , run by two crown mono amps (900 watts each) 

the halo integrated amp will be powering a mini maggie system 
with 2 bass panels and a set of mini maggie satellites that I will use
to fill any holes in imaging and  just get a much more full sound.
They integrate well with the maggie 3.7 , much bigger sound. 
the maggie bass panels will integrate the vmps subs and the maggie 3.7
the bass panels will improve the Maggie bass and the VMPS subs will handle all the low frequencies below 80 hz where you dont notice them ,

If you low pass your mains at 80 hz, this could be a less expensive alternative to see where your at. You really do not want to cross high and low at the same 80 hz frequency. A bit higher [high pass cutoff] is recommended rather than the same as the low pass filter cut.

I have been looking at those fmod filters as well. Has anyone tried them? Are they fairly transparent? 
You really do not want to cross high and low at the same 80 hz frequency. A bit higher [high pass cutoff] is recommended rather than the same as the low pass filter cut.

So maybe cut 60 HZ and below for the mains, and set the subs at 80 HZ? Then there’s still a little play between the two. I see how not drawing such a hard line with the frequencies could help not create a hole in the audio.

You know, you could also just cut the subwoofer's low pass filters instead. :)
