The main thing I believe is,does the sub woofer have the sound pressure to match the speakers? What I'm trying to say is,if your playing your speakers at the loudest level you like,will the sub produce the low frequencies you like at the same level?And do so without distortion or stress?If it does I don't see why not.
Normal Practice To Use 6 1/2" Sub With 8" Speaker?
I have a PMC TLE1 subwoofer with dual 6 1/2" drivers and speakers with 8" drivers. I am thinking whether it is a norm to combine subwoofers with speakers that have bigger drivers. The PMC subwoofer with smaller drivers goes down flat to 22Hz while the speaker with bigger drivers goes down to 40Hz+/-3dB. I am just curious since my impression is it is more appropriate to use subwoofers with a driver size that is at least similar or larger than the speaker's driver apart from looking at the specifications.
In my case I reckon it is technically acceptable to hook up the sub to the speakers since it does go down lower than the speakers? I just feel a little awkward using a sub that has smaller drivers compared to the main speakers although the results can be good(I think).
Any advice would be appreciated.
