How high do subs go

Small cheap ones. Sorry, but 180Hz is not the range for a sub; it's in the range of a woofer (or, even, some midranges).

What's the application?

Hi Pedrillo,

In my opinion if you're crossing over that high you should have stereo subwoofers, and you should place them symmetrically near the main speakers.

I certainly don't have a vast knowledge of all that's available in the subwoofer world. The only two subs I know of that go up to 180 Hz happen to be ones that I'm a dealer for. Shoot me an e-mail if you'd like to know what they are. I'm sure there are others that I'm not aware of.

Do you have any inclination towards building your own subs? That might open up some interesting possibilities for playing around with low frequency radiation pattern control.

Best of luck with your project,

Duke

My speakers midrange starts at 110hz (VMPS FF3SRE) I cant help but think of the "Bose Woes", those little cubes only respond to something like that. Bose has a habbit of not making their specs as easy to find as almost any other speaker in the world, and for good reason...those specs are pretty scary.

Sounds like you are trying to integrate with some satellites? As Kr4 mentioned most true subwoofers are designed to operate within frequencies no higher than 80 Hz. There are many subwoofers that will have a range to 150Hz - 200Hz that are designed for satellites or limited range smaller speakers. The trade-off may be low end extension but at least you will have some reach into the lower frequencies, about 40Hz-50Hz, to balance out smaller speakers

You will probably be limited in options but if you do some searching, I am sure you can find one to fit your application in both passive and active units.
