RE: Subs are sub optimal with magenpans!

Posted by pictureguy on December 24, 2016 at 20:01:56:
IMO, the key, or at least a few of the key items in subs and maggies are as follows.

Low cut the panels. This removes some of the stress to the amp while the panels don't do well for much of their lowest octave, anyway.

Crossover TO sub below the HP crossover of the panels. This leaves a small 'gap' between the subs highest and panels LOWest frequencies.
This is good, since done Right, they SUM FLAT thru the crossover region.

Adjust phase as needed.

Experiment with sub placement is critical, too. And may change the crossover frequencies needed for proper integration.

After I did the above, ALL muddiness was gone and everything from Pipe Organ and a Bosendorfer Imperial Grand sounded right all the way to the nuttiest movie effects.
