Default Sub crossover/standmounts?

I'm thinking of replacing my Rel Storm amp panel with one that's got a
better crossover filter, and routes frequencies above the knob setting to
the phono outputs. So I'm looking at a BK digital switching sub amp panel,
or perhaps SVS PCi panel.

# Now I've currently got DAC to 8000S, then onto 8000SX, then speakers.
Subwoofer connected to speaker level. Speakers are receiving full-range
audio.

See pic with another method. DAC plugs into amp sub panel, which then routes
sub knob setting to sub, above that to RCA outputs. Then onto
integrated/amp/speakers. So the 8000S (in pre-power mode) and 8000SX will
recieve everything above 60hz, sub 60hz

Is this a good idea? Or are the internals of amp sub panels pretty crappy
that I should just leave it connected as "#" and then just replace amp sub
panel, send speaker level to sub, adjust as desired? (standmounts still
receive full-range)

ta for any help

Talking to myself here, but I just remembered that if I place a high? pass
filter between the DAC/8000S, then route that to sub 60hz, 60hz to 8000S,
I won't have to replace the Rel amp.

Anyone know of high quality line level like the Paradigm X-30?

You've got me thinking along the same lines Nath. Anybody know anything
about the Behringer SUPER-X PRO CX2310?

There's a few on ebay at the moment

Nick

PS Nath, why are you looking for an alternative to the the Paradigm X-30?

Not too sure about Behringer products for Hi-Fi, I know people use a BFD
1124P on the sub channel which shouldn't make too much difference.

If I can get a X-30 from Richer Sounds- great. But when I try to contact
them they're only interested in selling what's on the shelf, not special
orders.

There's got to be high quality similar products to the Paradigm X-products?
