40hz Target
If I run the pensils full range the cone movement as very dramatic but with the 40hz high pass it settles down to almost nothing but the sound is about the same. This must be because the cabinet design results in a very steep roll off starting around 45hz but has no way to restrict cone travel below that range.
The Mar-Ken's may not be as efficient at producing the low notes, if that's the case I'll settle for the 60hz high pass. (I don't have any options in between with my gear)
Relieved of the low notes the 10.2 is amazingly graceful even with the calibration system forcing a flat response to 40hz in my large room. They sound excellent with a 60hz high pass as well. Sub integration is excellent either way. It also seems to smooth out the top end of these drivers a great deal and extends the top range even further which is not audible to me but may satisfy those who add super tweeters to these full rangers. You can't shape response like that with equalizers that's for sure.
Here's a picture to explain it.
Microphone calibration works on each channel independently including the sub woofer.
What's your thinking for wanting to have your center play so low?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
