How to optimize sub integration with 2 channel?


I’m at the point of wanting to integrate a proper sub into my 2 channel system.

Hey folks,
I understand that I can control the gain and frequency of the low end of the sub,via the sub.

But is there a way to do the inverse? Can I reduce the low end of the speakers to about 45 hz and use
the sub instead from about 44 hz and below?

If possible, how would that work? e.g., use an external crossover for the floor standers?
The problem is that there is too much output at around 3-50 hz if I use both the speakers and the sub.

thanks!! Gary

Since you already have a sub, I would suggest getting a DSpeaker Antimode 8033 first, for room equalization. You will be pleasantly surprised by the improvement. See here for a review: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/dspeaker-anti-mode-8033-dsp-subwoofer-equalizer-tas-204/
I am not quite sure about the kind of connections you have, but if you have a line level output from your amplifier, that should work just fine. Get the 8033 Cinema in that case.
