In Reply to: Re: Question about bass management and crossovers posted by mfm on August 18, 2000 at 12:24:54:
Since my speakers don't start to roll off until 45 hz I thought it might be fun to hear what my system sounds like if I crossed over lower. But if I'm going to be missing part of the signal no sense in doing that. Do you know anything about external crossovers like the Paradigm X-30? Would that help me in my bid to cross over lower without losing any of the signal? Thanks Michael.
Follow Ups:
I used a Paradigm X-30 and found it to be quite useful. Using one to it's full capability generally requires a separate amp. That way you could send a full signal to the X-30, high-pass it at 50, 80 or 120Hz (in your case, 50Hz might work) to the amp driving you main speakers, and set an appropriate low-pass crossover for the sub.There is another way that might work for you. It is described by another poster here at AA:

You might note that I responded to this thread and eventually tried the technique described in the post. I had reasonable success with it. I ended up with external amps, which was a better solution for me, so I no longer am applying this technique.
