The bass i=from the ergos is remarkable for theor size. But still missing a small bit. What if I used a 2nd order for the high pass at the natural rollof freq for a net 4th order, and then used a 4th order for the low pass? I imaginbe that coud be made to work well. Any thoughts? My next step is to finish the subs and I was thinking this would be the way to go. In all fairness, my subs would just add that last octave from approx 33 to 66Hz. But I think it could be worth it if done right. I'm thinking of useg the Pass DIY JFET actibve crossover. Or possibly even using passive components for the high pass ahead of the main amps.There can only be one outcome supplementing a sealed 2nd order loudspeaker system with a ported 4th order bass unit, and it's not a good one. I can only encourage you to reconsider, or at the very least if you must try, have a way of disconnecting the latter. The E-IX has a balance of bass quality and quantity that belies its homegrown roots and diminutive size.
