It's hard to judge exactly WHERE the XO is on the sub
I'm confused Gary. Why are you using the crossover on your sub itself and not the crossover (bass management system) in your receiver/preamp? Normally you would dial the subs own low pass filter (XO) as high as it will go, so it won't interfere with the receivers bass management. Some subs have a bypass switch and some you need to dial the pot fully clockwise to get the low pass up to ~160Hz or higher. Then the reciever handles the 80Hz crossing of the mains and sub...
