Setting Sub Crossover Freq


I have speakers that have rated sensitivity of 89-90dB
and a frequency range of 45-22000/50000Hz.

Anyone have any suggestions where to set a sub crossover frequency given these specs ?

I agree, you have to set the crossover point LOWER than the bottom of your regular speaker. Then adjust the integration using the sub's volume control. Don't forget to check the phase of the sub also.

I agree that a sub sounds better out of a corner for music. Corners make for bigger THUMPS, which may be fine for home theater but loses character and texture on music.

If you can hear the sub then it is probably too loud. The integration should be seamless and not noticeable, else it's not set right.
