[QUOTE="Joris Wijgerde, post: 217190, member: 13728"] I second Rob here. Living in the EU, most dance systems have a two-band bass solution with subs covering frequencies up to 80-90Hz and "kick" bass bins covering the upper bass. The main reason for the upper cutoff frequency of kicks being < 250Hz is the amount of ~120Hz energy required compared to anything above 200Hz. Crossing them too high tends to make them sound honky and makes midrange elements too loud. A lot of people also like the sound of bandpass horns like the ES18, HD15 etc for upper bass, but which sound awful at higher frequencies. Please note that what I'm talking about here is sound systems designed for dub and electronic music (drum 'n bass, dubstep, techno, ....) where the SPL difference between sub and midrange/high frequencies is a lot higher than for live music.
