RE: Up instead of down...

"Up instead of down" is more of a precautionary measure than anything else. For clean bass, subwoofer output should not overlap excessively with main driver output. Trying to use the lowest possible crossover setting, combined with the highest possible volume setting, helps to prevent this from happening.

Some people who try this method for the first time initially think that they are not hearing strong bass, but later come to realize that they are hearing clean bass and smooth bass transitions for the first time. The bottom two octaves should not be heard so much as felt.

Finding subwoofers that produce clean, strong bass 20 - 40 hz is not always easy or inexpensive, and that's one reason why some of us give up on the pursuit of truly deep bass extension, and settle for mediocre bass extension. Good luck with your project.
