Between 40 and 80 Hz - it depends (on room acoustics, my tone goals etc.). I usually start at 40 Hz as a default with my NS Design NXT EUB. If I feel the sound is boomy, I raise the HPF. Sometimes I start at 80Hz if I want the EUB sound as close to acoustic uprigt as possible.

First reherseal session with a new cab (SWR Goliath jr III 2x10 4 ohm), and because the rattings were at their limits (cab it's allowed to get 350W max., Aguilar TH350 it's 350W max. but Icepower in it says 450W), the HPF/LPF reaised where barely are felt and boom, glorious tone, dispersion, definition.
I can't live without this tiny toy!!! I think sets were:
HPF: 70 Hz
LPF: 10-15 KHz

Thanks for explaining all this! I have the same combo and the same HPF, and will be gigging them soon. Similar rooms as well. So this information is very useful to me. Thanks again.
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy as much as I do. Nothing flashy but really gets the job done.
Why you need to buy a wireless system to go along with your HPF/LPF: You cannot dial in your tone and the band mix from the stage. Period.

"My little Americana group had an indoor event today. I took only one Subway 1x15, and with the wireless unit I recently bought I was able to walk way out front and zero in the p.a. a bit, re-set some volumes (five vocal mic's + three instruments), etc.
But, I kept getting a clicky-type sound on the bass. Passive J, turned down the bridge pup, not much change, rolled off some treble, not much change. Then I walked back to the stage and rolled the tweeter down most of the way on the back of the speaker cab.
Walked back out front some 80 ft or so, and ... perfect. Not a problem at all. No hiss, no clanky sound, just good sounds (when I occasionally play the right notes).
I normally use the SW2x12 in these venues, but the last time I noticed that the vox mic really picked up the bass much more than when using the single 15. Even with my mic on, it was really nice.
I simply cannot say enough good things about these cabs."

I'm in Europe as well, I looked and found nothing so ended up ordering a Broughton. And yes, shipping and customs....
FDeck's plans are open source (free) so if you or someone you know can read the schematic and solder, it can be made fairly inexpensively.
Try to talk somebody in your country to order from Broughton together. That way, you can share the shipping costs.
There are DIY options: Fdeck or Vong Filterung.
You can also try to ask a fellow TB member to help you by ordering and sending you one of Fdeck's... The price for Series 1 is USD 55 (plus shipping). In the past, TB member caeman has been willing to act as a "middleman".
Good luck!
Thanks...but it's more expensive than Broughton Always-on (even with shipping costs)...plus it is not variable/adjustable
