Recommended Crossover Points
Setting the crossover, the blend between your speakers and subwoofer, will always depend on your room acoustics and your personal preferences.
This is just a recommendation to get you started. From here you can experiment and listen to what effect it has on the sound.
It is also divided into two categories we named AV and Stereo.
The difference is that AV systems have a built-in active crossover which sets the High-Pass and Low-Pass filters on the subwoofer output. In this combination, you will have to set the subwoofer to Low-Pass filter bypass. You can also increase your system SPL output substantially by going to a higher crossover point, just don’t go above 120Hz to keep localization to a minimum.
Typically Stereo systems don’t come with active crossovers so you only set the Low-Pass filter on the subwoofer without a High-Pass. This means that your speakers will play the full-range signal with their natural roll-off towards the lower frequencies.
The goal is to find the perfect blend and the smoothest response.
