Bose 161 Crossover Recommendation HPF.

[Geneticus]

I have a pair of 161s that I mounted horizontally in my Office near the ceiling. I also have a 10" sub that I added since the base was a little underwhelming from the 161s.  The Sub has a built in crossover, but my Stereo does not. It's a 20 year old Sony STRDE815G.  I want to keep the midrange and higher on the Bose but cut out the low end, however I can't seem to locate any information on what the frequency response is on the 161's. Any Ideas?

Hi Geneticus,

The exact frequency response specifications are not published. However, a typical starting point for a crossover frequency for stereo speakers (being used with a subwoofer) would be 80 Hz. I'd recommend testing this first to see how it sounds. Play around with higher or lower settings as well, and see what sounds best for you!

Let us know if you have any additional questions. 

Best regards,

Brian
