Additional note, I’m using AudioQuest sub cables with a splitter so that I occupy both L and R input ports on each sub. See the last picture (empty sound stage) in my profile for visual on set up.
SabrinaX Sub-Crossover
First time posting. I recently got a new pair of SabrinaX speakers and paired them with two Martin Logan 1100x subs. The system together sounds incredible. The SabrinaX is rated down to 31Hz. Where should I cross-over the subs? I did it at 35Hz with a steep roll-off (4th order) but wondering if people with more knowledge have any recommendations?
Thanks!

Putting in a sub and making it integrate well with main speakers and the room takes effort. I wrote about the difference between expectations and measurements here: https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2021/12/room-speakers-eq.html |
@upstateaudiophile My Wilson Duette are spec’d to play to 36Hz. I think my in-room response is better than that. I’m running dual SVS SB-16 Ultra subs. The way I have them dialed in is such that they do not draw attention to themselves. I have not gotten into measuring the room yet. I have a UMIK microphone and will do that. The thing is, when I turn the subs all the way down via the SVS app, I’m still very, very happy. In fact, on more than one occasion I forgot to put the subs back to their integrated setting. The Duette use an 8" driver I suspect is very similar to what is in the SabrinaX and they are really something for a stand mount 2-way. On more than one occasion they have made me say "WOW!". Your speakers are spec’d at 31Hz... of course that depends on the room. |
@upstateaudiophile you should definitely consider using ARC to tune your subs. I would be talking to both Wilson and ML to get advice on the crossover parameters you are asking about. |
