have a low pass cut off of about 60hz with a 12 db rolloff. well into the BASS octaves of music. The problem you run into with coaxials and good bass/mid bass response is in the fact that you are also trying to play higher octaves of music with the same speaker. Yes, you have the tweeter crossed over at a given high pass frequency, but below that and all the way down, one cone must handle reproducibility duties. So, what you tend to have is either a speaker that you cutoff higher and get better mid range response (clearer vocals, instruments etc etc) or you get a speaker that gives good low bass response (relatively speaking) but has a mid range that sounds a little muddied. These are compromises that you have to choose and cannot really be changed. There are plenty of good speakers (some coaxials) that give good Bass/mid bass response. Just remember this is also a function of size of the enclosure of the speaker and the particular enviroment it will be played in. Will you be pushing 130db's of a 20hz pipe organ, no! Physically the speaker/motor cannot linearly move that much. If that what you want then invest in a sub and power. Otherwise choose carefully and go to a well qualified professional who will know how to set you up properly. hope this helps.
