Default subwoofer recomendation for nht A10's

Thanks for your reply.The B20's are out of my price range(they are
about $1700) and I would like more low end extension than offered by
the S00.If I went with the consumer line sw12 or sw10ii, what would be
the best way to crossover? Would it be good enough to set the low pass
on the sub to around 50hz(around where the A10 naturally rolls off)or
should I really get a sub that filters the signal before reaching the
A10's?


You should never rely on the low-end corner of the driver itself; you
absolutely have to have a high-pass network that is predictable on the
mains.

Most of the external crossovers out there that are any good are going to
cost more than your whole budget.

I can spend about $500-perhaps you know agood place to look for
NHT stuff used. Thanks a lot for your insight and thanks again for the
original reccomendation to these-I'm really enjoying working with
them.


Check around.... and check on Ebay. Or consider buying a crossover now,
and then an amp later, and then a passive sub like the Hsu Research box
later on.
