Ok now I understand what you mean by "high Pass Filter". So this info is suggesting to me that to get Punch it does not only depend on type of cab and woofers but also maybe even more so on the Processor being used, is this correct please? So maybe best to get a Digital Processor for Speaker Management instead of using the Analog Ashly?
In my reference to a high pass filter that was for the subwoofer to block sub low frequencies from being amplified and causing the sub to "unload" in trying to reproduce frequencies that it can not do.
Yes the "punch" can be a cabinet and processing overall combination.
What Don was talking about is crossover under lapping .
Below is a copy of a basic description of this topic I posted on another forum a while back.
In the case of crossing over from lows to mids or from any band pass to the next is when you run the band passes at different level as in more lows than mids raising the low output level increased the low drivers frequencies that are over lapping into the mid range area.
Excuse my crude drawing!
The middle vertical black line represents your intended crossover frequency.
The green line is your mid range crossover output level and cut off slope.
The red line to the left of the green line is the low frequency output level and cutoff slope.
Both at the same level the crossover frequency both electronic and acoustic is the same.
Now look at the upper red line that represents a higher low frequency output level and low pass cutoff frequency that is still set at the same high pass frequency as the mid range.
You can see that it moved the acoustic crossover frequency higher with more overlap between the lows and the mids.
The dashed blue line represents the same higher low frequency output level only with a
lower low pass frequency and the resulting acoustic crossover now matches what the intended electronic crossover frequency was to be.
