[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 4090926, member: 555320"] While it's [I]possible[/I] to run them full range at lower listening levels....if you listen to the speakers are louder listening levels it would likely be ill advised to run them full range. They aren't designed to produce subbass at any sort of real volume level, so playing them full range at normal/louder listening levels would be severely stressing them and run the potential for damaging them. A highpass would be advisable. The simple answer here is that the lower the frequency, the worse your hearing resolution gets. I wouldn't expect you to really tell a great deal of difference between 60hz and 70hz with music. Between 60hz and 100hz the difference could be somewhat audible even if it's not a [I]big[/I] difference. These two statements are in contradiction with each other [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] A crossover does [B]NOT[/B] [I]block[/I] any signal or frequency. It [I]attenuates[/I] certain frequencies.
