A 6" driver can only provide clean output on acoustic music at subjectively realistic levels down to about 120Hz.
If you don't want your mid-range mucked up from IM distortion and fuzzy bass, you need to remove the high frequencies from the driver which means an electrical high-pass filter on the main speakers.
That rules out the RELs where the main speaker signal is unmodified and sub-woofer low-pass set to where they meet.
