Pair or not to Pair ?

I understand, It's probally just my silly brain

What I think is with setting a crossover point you limit the speaker and the sub a bit. (it's now set at 45 Hz)

So below 45Hz the speakers can still ad something in the mix and above the Sub can do that, if you unpair the speakers and don't have to set a crossover.

Well, yes. But this is exactly what is desired for good integration of main speakers and subwoofer: You want to keep the overlapping range small. Relieving the main speakers from deep sub-bass reduces distortion and also reduces the amount of amplifier power needed for the main speakers (again, reducing distortion and enabling higher SPL).

If the subwoofer is not positioned close to the speakers, a clean crossover between mains and sub is even more important.

RoomFit will do a decent job in cutting any excess boom. But there are extra benefits to starting with a clean configuration.
