Subwoofer Crossover Question


What would be the starting point for Subwoofer integration with a pair of speakers that has the Frequency response below. Any layman explanation for what the -6db at 23Hz signifies and how this might relate to subwoofer crossover into a two channel music system, (two Rel Strata III's) will also be appreciated.

Frequency Response 28Hz to 25kHz ±2dB, -6dB at 23Hz

Thanks for all the help. I have had the rels for some time and when I purchased the Aerial's about six months ago I automatically rebooked the Strata III's back into the system without listening to the Aerial's without them.

Jirenman, specific to your question have each sub hooked up to the back of the speakers with a customized Neutrik connectors that were made for me by a buddy of mine who subsequently went to work for Cary Audio as their director of product development. I have had the connectors over 4 years, and had them made shortly after purchasing the second sub.

After reading all of the above post's, I have taken Newbee's suggestion and now have the Rel's crossed over as low as they can go at 22 HZ. My initial impression is that the overall presentation has cleared up considerably, and I feel like I am hearing some additional details that had previously been obscured. This weekend I'll listen without the subs and evaluate with and without them.

Thanks again to everyone for all of the quality responses.
