->       Cutoffs/crossovers for home subwoofers should depend entirely
-> on the
-> speaker system of the user and his listening room. While good quality
-> bookshelf speakers in a large listening area will often call for a
-> cutoff in the 125 MHz area that you mentioned, many full range towers
-> sound best when cutoff at some point much lower.         In my case,
-> depending upon the source material, 40 to 50Mhz has the most accurate
-> and pleasing effect, while my friend across the street MUST have his
-> set at 80Mhz simply due to room measurement differences. I am glad I
-> am not much of a gambler, as I would have lost the deed to the ranch
-> on that one!Where I have a steeply sloped cathedral ceiling and about
-> 6 ft deeper area, he has an 8'2" flat ceiling and a slightly narrower
-> and less deep room. Same full range speakers. Never would have
-> thought that big a difference would jump out like that.
Were you asleep when you wrote this?  I've never seen any speakers
before that used 125 Mhz cutoffs.  It's just a tad high :-)
