[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 99497, member: 211"] Re: Sub and top mismatch ? There is no crossover in the EV SXA360's. There is a crossover in the subs, which high passes to the top speaker. The JBL sub has a fixed crossover point of 90hz. This means that compared to your existing setup, the tops now have to also produce the sound in the 90-100hz range that they weren't responsible for previously. The speakers are rated down to 60hz, so there will be no 'hole' in the sound to worry about. The only concern is the added work load to the tops. But in reality, there may not be much more load on the tops. The JBL uses a pretty steep 48dB/octave slope, so the tops aren't going to be doing much work below 90hz. The slope of the crossover for the EV's isn't specified, but if it wasn't a steep slope, the tops were likely producing some sound in that range and the net difference of work load would be little to none.
