Subwoofer crossovers

Edorr,
Sorry for the loooong delay in replying to you.
I saw no reply's after 2 week and thought this was a dead thread.

I am using my Sarastro II's full range. They have an 11 inch bass driver but I like how the JL's load the room and with Floyd music they add that very low fast bass. I crossover the JL's at 35Hz since they are being used with 2 channel. I would not want them at a much higher crossover since the Sarastro's sound great in full range.
I have tried a few subs and for 2 channel I prefer the JL's they are the fastest sub I have found I just wish it had an LFE input.

Yes I want the Meridian to handle the subs crossover & EQ's when in theater mode.

Martykl,
The NHT x-2 sound very interesting and the cost is minimal but is there a better unit available.
I like the fact it has an LFE input. Do you know if it overrides the stereo input?

This thread is getting interesting.
Thanks for the reply's

Would have been interesting but I never thought of it and never tried. Now I never will because I sold my my Verities and I am using Eidolon Visions.

Hevac,

I've never used the LFE in, so I don't know the answer.

Hevac1, we have a very similar approach in that I cross over at 35Hz and run mains at full range. I am also using the NHT crossover (as low pass filter only) and it works like a charm. It sums the LFE to the stereo signal. Obvioulsy, it does NOT apply the Xover settings to the LFE channel but adds the "full range" LFE signal (which is typically up to 80-120Hz). Marchand will custom build you a Crossover that sums LFE and stereo as well. I believe it was Marty who mentioned he preferred the cheaper NHT though.

Funny you sould mention Floyd music. Blew up my midrange drivers listening to shine on you crazy diamond last month.

Hevac, the LFE channel on the NHT is summed to the stereo channels. It does not override it. Works like a charm. It was the only device I could find that could so this. Marchand offered to custom build me a 3 in 2 out Xover for a lot more money. Unfortunately NHT no longer makes the x2 but they show up used occasionally.
