Hey Sonnie,
I am currently doing something very similar to what your proposing..
The rub is that I am doing it with a combination of OB and IB drivers that were all designed to work well together.
For my mains I run a Duet of the Silver Iris Coaxial and the Silver Iris OB Augie.
This is all that's needed for all music and most movies... I do bottom the Augies on dynamic material like WOTW etc. So I will be handing off to a quad of Silver Iris IB BAD's in an attic mounted IB manifold.
This works very well but it may have to do with my configuration and desired results...
I like stereo Augie's for music. They have the advantage of dipole radiation and ultra clean response. Even though most music is mixed to have a center phantom bass image, you can still hear channel separation in the upper harmonics on some good recordings.
I would think that you could do a high pass on your box to insure he only plays from a preset low to a preset high end roll off. This would free him up from the really low stuff yet still allow him to augment your mains.This would protect your drivers and keep distortion to a minimum.
A high pass set about 25-30 hz with a 24db slope should keep him happy.
Bring your IB sub system in at 20hz and let him take you down into the black darkness that only IB 's venture......
Or skip your sub and run your IB up to hand off to your mains at around 80hz....
What do you want to accomplish? Find out this and the rest is easy...
Good luck with your project.
