Hi all, my fullrange speaker reproduce well enough 35hz but can't go lower. Thinking it would be a good idea to clean the lowest end that the amp deliver but the speakers can't. Moreover think amp will be released from unnecessary work and will perform overall better.
With my digital vst crave eq plug in can pick up a low cut filter with a maximum cut of 48db/octave. Which is the most musical choice? Setting the filter at 35 hz with 48db cut might brutal and not musical? Whats the best strategy to integrate the low end filter with the others rew eq automatic filter? If I understood right will set up the low end filter (24db/octave?) at 35hz and then ask rew eq to calculate the remaining filters? Let me know please if I am right path or wrong or I better use negative low shelf for instance
 
If your fullrange speaker reproduce down to 35hz then that is where you would set your high pass (low cut)... You could dial it up a hz or two to see if it sounds any better or worse... I would see how something sounds between 6 dB/octave and 18... 24 dB/octave sounds like a bit much... Its really about what sounds good to you... REW also has a high pass filter so I not sure if or how you intend to "blend" your sound... Maybe Crave EQ does something special down there? And yes you are on the right path using a high pass filter to manage how and where you cut and roll off your bottom end bass...
