Mani, I have long run an 8" Lowther DX4 down to 150 hz, over 2nd order high-pass. My impression after plenty of listening is that I wish I could cross it at ~ 400 Hz. The "problem"is not simply how "low" the 8" driver will go but it is also a question of the relative "balance" of harmonic development. IMO, the <8" driver just doesn't "develop harmonics" evenly (appropriately) at a 150 Hz "center" point. Rather, it develops more upward-tending harmonics than downward-tending harmonics at this "reference" "primary" frequency point. I hope that makes sense to you.
Best regards,
