Hello, Not only do cheap ones go to 80hz but good ones too. That is where my woofer system is crossed over at. You may see them in "my system". They are not "your average bear". Good subs require a bit of surface area, especially if they are going to intergrate with electrostatics. It also goes down to 20hz quite well. I think that good subs should be capable of higher freq. They intergrate easier if they do with any speaker system.
