OP here. Thank you for all your help. One thing that still confuses me is that my speakers list their low frequency roll off when it is -6 dB instead of the -3 that other people use. That is 48 Hz. Should I guess what the -3 rolloff would be or use the -6 or something else?. When I change the low pass filter, I don’t notice a change in the sound, although I’m sure it is there and this is about my ears. So if someone else’s ears are more sensitive, maybe they would know whether this six verses three thing is significant. Both the speakers and the subs are sealed boxes with gradual roll offs, by the way.
Compatibility between speakers and sub.
When you ponder what, if any, sub to buy, are certain ones easier to pair with your particular speakers? Will certain ones sound better dependent on the type of speaker you have?
I’m clueless as to how to determine the above, assuming that matching up is important. Can anyone help?
I have ATC SCM40s —passive— and an irregular, high-ceilinged, open floor plan, medium to large, untreated room with only a few practical spots for a sub.
Thanks ahead of time.
