Thanks Andy. When using a sub woofer one should only match the the lowest cross over point(40) on the 1.7(to the Rhythmic f12 g) was my plan. I live in a NYC apt ) and was hoping to reduce general volume by getting a 'deeper bass definition' and in a way fool my ears for my neighbors sake. Is that possible?

Sorry, don't know, mate. :-((
But your 1.7s (or any spkr for that matter) don't just stop producing sound below the their 'cut-off' point - that's merely the frequency where the sound level is 3dB lower than it was, say, at 3x the cutoff frequency. At frequencies below the cut-off point ... the output simply gets less.
So if you were turning up your 1.7s, in order to be able to hear 40hz well then all that will happen - if you bring in your subs at a frequency which is the same as the 1.7's 'cut off' frequency (or less) - is that the subs will deliver those LFs, instead of the 1.7s.
Your neighbours will still hear them - depending on:
* how loud you listen at, and
* the construction of your apartment.

  Thank you Andy....I live in a 1940's building with 10' ceilings but sound travels cement and oak floors-do not know if the 'trade off' is worth it since I play a lot organ music and if even the best sealed woofers are an asset.
  The proper thing is the 20.7 but they weigh 175 pounds each- a little much at my Joe Biden age group.

    Well, so do I! :-))
    
    Rest assured, 30.7s will deliver organ music well but 20.7s still need subs to do ol' Johann Sebastian justice!
    
    I lived with my IIIas - and later 'Frankenpans' - for over 20 years before I added a pair of sealed subs ... and realised what I had been missing out on, all those years.
