Depends on the active/passive implementation.I usually look at the response of the "main" speaker, stated at its' 3db down point.If using a passive cap/inductor arrangement,then you are looking at an octave up or down +/- (twice the Freq going up/half going down-will be an octave).This will also depend on the crossover slope (6,12,18,24 in db/octave).^ being gradual and 24 being steep.Some active units allow up to 90db slopes.
What do you consider when setting crossover freqs?
After all I have read, I am still unclear as to whether the cross over for a sub is set at the frequency where the mains/fronts taper off (i.e. the non-flat portion of the frequency response curve) or it is set up where the spec say the mains/fronts are responsive to, say down to 60Hz). Or none of the above.. or other factors I do not know about.
