Two Subs At Different Crossover Points


I currently use two sub woofers for watching surround movies. One is my old 10" sub that has an F3 about 35hz, the new one is a 15" quatro that reaches to about 23hz.

I seem to get clearer sound and better feel by running the 10" crossed over from my mains at 60hz down to its F3 of 35hz, the 15" I set on the sub amp to only pass 40hz and down and bump up the volume two db's.

This seems to give a boost in feel(explosion) but not much in sound that may make it boomy or muddy. It really moves the couch but does not seem overly loud compared to the rest of the 5.2 setup.

Does anyone else run this type of setup? Or works it a different way?
