What frequency do I crossover subs


My speakers go down to 45hz and I've been told to crossover the subs at 60hz. That doesn't make any sense to me. I would think the crossover point would be between 40 and 50hz. Is there anyway to figure this out scientifically?

Due to way too many variables, there is no way to figure out on paper what is the optimum crossover point for subs in your room. I followed this method successfully: set the point at which my mains were rated -3db on the low end, dialed in phase and matching volume on sub, then adjusted crossover +/- using an SPL meter for smoothest integration. Not difficult, just time consuming.
