Go to the Yamaha product page and look at the bit that says "FIR-X tuning". That may be why the bin doesn´t like your other cabs.

EDIT:

" It just seems odd that the passive crossover in the cabinet"

Definitely not a passive!

Ahh right I see what you mean now, the sub is essentially tuned to integrate well with cabinets in the same model range. Correct? My bad, digital crossover not passive. I meant internal I suppose.

Ah, passive crossover in a way of bass box, it can also be a problem. You should try more powerful amp and some DSP to find out. Keep in mind that to a point, higher reproduced frequencies actually sound tighter, and even tighter when you cut bottom under 45Hz.

The tops alignment mentioned by the other poster is meant that tops and subwoofer don't overshadow each other and these are in phase at crossover frequency. Otherwise you can get into weird bass anomalies. Before changing tops you might even consider upgrading your signal path, processing and or amps. Generally everything, so to speak. :-D

// bhaha, confusion. You're all too fast! :-D

Nikon and Canon people should not be married to each other. Why did you let this happen?

The subwoofer is active so I can't try a more powerful amp ;) But yes an active crossover and a graphic eq would be a good upgrade, I guess that would prevent "weird bass anomalies"? By that you mean phasing issues I think? 

haha thanks for the advice :)

Also guys, would it be best just to buy an LMS? Rather than getting a separate EQ, crossover, limiter etc.

You'd be better off just buying the matching tops for your active sub as has been recommended numerous times already…

Yes that has been my intention for some time now. I'm talking about upgrading my signal processing as well, not instead.
