Most vintage speakers have limited power handling (40 watts) 3-20 watts each driverso running the mains full range will blow the woofer on BD audio tracks.
Somebody told me running full range will tear the passive radiator due to too much back pressure.
The sub doesn't have a LPF switch, I have the X-over on the sub set to 60Hz and I actually have the volume knob on the sub turned low compared to most people, I have it around about..the 9:30 clock position.
I think I need another sub pawn shops have plenty of used sub-woofers.
I once saw a working Cervin vega pro audio passive sub at a thrift once but the thing was almost as big as a subaru!

Most? Only the crappy ones. What we used to call "brown goods". Even the $105 Advent was paired with Phase Linear amps back in the day. Obviously, you're not talking about AR, KLH, Gale, Dahlquist, KEF, IMF, Bose, Magnepan, ADS, Altec, Klipsch, and dozens of others.

That's pretty funny.

You shouldn't be able to "hear" the sub at all - until there is really first or second octave bass.
...pawn shops have plenty of
I think that's the problem.
That problem overflows to thrift stores loaded with one note thud junk subs.
Match decent speakers with a decent sub, get 'em in tune with the room and there's no need to ever turn that sub off!
The speakers arent Bass-deficient, I have the sub for movies and for when I Want Club-bass.....
I think its a room issue mostly since if I crawl to one part of the room it sounds more integrated, problem is ther's no place to plug the sub-woofer on that side of the room.
Soon we will be moving somewhere else. A more modern place with more outlets.
As for the power handling I dont even think most AVRS even do a full clean 40 watts a side at max volume and plus nobody listens at full tilt anyway.
I think I might get a second sub sience mty room absorbs bass in certain areas.
I dont listen to classical music except for the occasional Hans zimmerish score and I dont care for jazz or most of the "music" audio snobs listen to.
My room is also pretty small for my speakers too. Most people's listening rooms tend to be double the size of mine.
The next sub willbe bigger than "8" if I can help it. The woofers and radiators on the speakers are also "8" I think my sub is too little.
