[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8865976, member: 611804"] Personally I never set it above 80hz. Really once you go above 60hz it starts to be very easy to localize the bass as being behind you since the higher you go the more directional sound gets. That said I do have my front sub playing 25-150hz currently. But it's in the front seat area and time aligned with the midbass to sum correctly. If it wasn't properly time aligned it could not only drag the sound stage rearwards but also be destructive to the midbass portion of the system. 80hz is what I used to set most setups at when we did basic install for common users and works well 90% of the time. Currently I plan to low pass my subs at 60hz and let my front sub and midbass high pass at 60hz. This gives me about 2:1 ratio of cone area for the drivers playing 20-60 and 60-150hz respectively which is where we typically have a higher gain setting or boost in the target curve. A common curve is 9db higher in that range but I like about 12-18db personally with a rather steep drop from 150-300hz and flat as far as possible after that. [/QUOTE]
