Well, if it goes down too far, it would defeat the point of the subs. I can't find the stock xover point, but the sub's FR is rated up to 120Hz so that's probably as high as it goes. If it goes down an octave, the sub would only be covering 40-60 hz. Is it an octave, or some other factor that it changes by?

I have the 4-ohm KEF speakers, but they aren't the best in the world so I wanted the option of changing that.

I see the PSB Alphas are 6-ohm, though, so that would probably work.
