The 1D should be relatively flat to below 40 HZ, and with a well broken-in pair in the right room, good to 30-33 Hz, with some useful info below that.
I'd say bringing in the sub at 40 HZ might work, but only IF the slope was pretty steep.
Otherwise, it'll blur the 1D's bass transients. Certainly 60 Hz or higher would blur those transients, although the tonality might not be too far off if the sub is integrated properly.
The 1D bass panels have themselves been used as the bass units in other fine (modified) speaker systems, precisely because of their bass quality.
In general, I'd rather not have the subs at all unless they were needed below 40 Hz due to room/placement limitations.
IMO, of course.
Best regards,
