Using full range speaker as Subwoofer?

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Has anyone ever thought of using Linn Isobariks, or Matrix 801's as passive subwoofers? Seems like overkill - but prices on these speakers are sometimes cheaper than buying "one" quality amplifier. I realise you'd have to config a crossover - but I wonder if either of these two speakers might not be an awesome sub enclosure?
I'm not sure I'd actually do this - but just thought it might be intersting to consider?
Anyone actually ever try something like this?
