JA>                 But with me, the answer was someplace in
 JA> between 50 and 80. I suspect closer to 50 than 80.
 JA>         Prior to this, (at 80 Hz) the location of the sub
 JA> could be discerned
 JA> only on the longer passages and parts of movie soundtracks
 JA> with heavy bass. The momentary low bass notes/effects were
 JA> less noticable coming from a specific direction.
 JA>         At 50 Hz, I really believe I could put the sub in my
 JA> kitchen and other
    I'm sure that'll be fun, not for the pans though..
 JA>         I have read figures of 100 Hz being the cut off, but
    My Dad works with Car Audio and he seems to believe that
100hz is about right. Though Home Hifi is different. The Boxes
are made larger and the Cross-Overs don't have to be made to
compensate for 'shoddy' boxes.
 JA> it wasn't so with
 JA> my area and system. But I have the "Listening Area From Hell"
    Tell me about it. My sound system is in a small room about 8 foot
square. It is full of things to absorb sounds. I have a pair of Mission
731i's at the back and a pair of Old Goodmans PQ130 at the front. None
of which are standing up. They are all lying down with the tweerers on
the outside. All speakers are at ear level.
    Inside those Goodmans, there are no specifically made Crossovers
just caps etc.. soldered onto the speaker terminals, Great. The Speakers
need to be stuffed to put a bit of pressure on the back of the cones, they
might as well be working in free air at the moment. I'm driving both pairs
of an old PROTON 520 Stere Amp, Pioneer PD5010 Cd player. Nice.
