i may be a little confused. can you tell us what your main speakers and amp/ receiver are? that's a nice little sub for a smaller room especially for music. i auditioned it against some much larger subs and it compared favorably sound quality wise. but if your towers go down to 32hz that's about the bottom end of what that sub can do. that doesn't mean the system won't benefit from using the sub, just that it's not necessarily adding much extension to the low end.

if you're using a surround reciever, you should run the sub on the lfe out and let the receiver do the bass management. if you can, try running the receiver's crossover from 50hz up to 100hz at 10hz increments and see what sounds best to you. if you are running a 2 channel system, it may be trickier.
