>>>The paradigm has an 18 Db- filter which is not a 100% match for the Prometheus- baffles but it is worth a try.>>>

I could defineately run the baffles full range and let them filter themselves. In my current setup, my power amp (85 watts) can clip at high volumes if I run my speakers full range. If I high pass them, it does not clip at all. However, clearly the Promethus is much more effecient/sensitive.

I'm not sure I understand this part. Yes, the subwoofers will have a MUCH higher moving mass than the Promethus woofers, but having 4 in what is the ultimate optomized sealed enclosure makes them very effecient. Each woofer is roughly 90dB effecient, plus coupling, plus room gain, means that each woofer is not moving very much at all.

<<<>>

I am using a stereo power amp to drive the four woofers. Each woofer is 4 ohms so they are wired in paralell for two 2 ohm loads. The amp is good down to 2 ohms stereo or 4 ohms bridged so I am running it as 2 ohms stereo.

I'll attach a picture of my room. The subwoofers are mounted in the ceiling as you can see towards the top of the picture.
