I'll have to pull one to check and see what they are exactly. I
received no documentation.
I'm currently sending a full range signal to them and I don't hear any
obvious distortion. I guess I've always assumed they had a built-in
passive crossover network to filter out frequencies the driver can't
handle. They definitely don't reproduce low-level signals, though, as
there's definitely missing sound without the sub.

The existing three pairs of speakers are the
in-ceiling speakers I've been
talking about. The fourth pair of speakers will be traditional
full-range speakers. That's one reason why I want to send the
full-range signal to the power amp (and in turn the speaker selector).
If these in-ceiling speakers are small ones (that really need a sub)
they won't appreciate high level LF signals they can't reproduce.
In the best case this will result in distortion, in the worst you
could easily damage them.
