I'm not sure where you learned this, but I don't think it's a reliable fact.
Are you referring to subwoofers, which are dedicated boxes that only play bass, or you referring to woofers which are generally the largest speaker in a box with multiple drivers (e.g. a tweeter and sometimes a midrange unit)?

I referring to the subwoofer that blay bass. the Monolith m10 v2 crossover frequency is 440 hertz in THX mode
That doesn't make a lot of sense. That sub is what it is, but where is your crossover coming from? The low pass filter on that sub doesn't go to 440 so not sure what you're referring to....

these are the specifications for the monolith m10 v2 looks accurate you can see the rolling off point at 440 hertz with a 48 DB crossover slope

Seems you mean the upper frequency limit of the sub, not crossover. A crossover is the application of a high pass filter and a low pass filter together.

Ah OK. As others have pointed out, subwoofers generally don't have crossovers. The clue is in the name - e.g. the bass/mid driver crosses over to the tweeter.
Subwoofers "roll off" at a certain high frequency, in this case Monolith state 200Hz, and indeed the graphs show that.
So now back to your statement:
What do you mean? Are you saying that, because the Monolith goes up to 200Hz, the main speakers need to have a high-pass filter slightly above 200 Hz to prevent excessive bass? If so, yes, that's the case. If you are using this subwoofer with normal speakers without a filter, there will be way too much sound between, say, 80 and 300 Hz.
Okay?

Do not start a new thread. This makes no sense to anyone without reading the "logic" in your other thread.

BUT, it's not a crossover. Please understand the other thread. This is about the roll off of your subs and the HPF of your main speakers.
