What do you all have the crossover set at?
j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jun 6, 2006 #2 Should be good with 80Hz, but might try 60Hz. -3dB is 40Hz, so 60 may be a bit too low, but you won't know until you try it.

annunaki Moderator Jun 12, 2006 #3 60 HZ would not be too low for that speaker. The speaker is tuned to about 43hz, meaning it does not start to roll off (-24db/oct. being a ported design) until that point. That would explain why it has a -3db point of 40hz. 60hz would be a great crossover point for the speaker in question. Match it with the LCR600 and another pair of 602s for rears and you have one hell of a system with well blended subwoofer. Lower crossover points tend to blend subwoofers in a more seamless fashion. There is less chance for 2nd and 3rd order harmonics (above and below the crossover points) changing system response.
