An active crossover is the secret to good subwoofer integration.
Couldn't agree more. The lack of a high pass leg is a design/feature oversight that creates issues. I have avoided most of the negative interactions by setting the low pass filter at 30Hz and 24dB per octave, but that's as far as I can go without a crossover. The scarcity of analog crossovers has been noted in my subwoofing thread on the Revel board. Notwithstanding, the JLA F113/2 is doing well in my rig.
