[Installing A Crossover]

You guys know that this is at home and not for a car right? I need a home, enclosed amp with a LFP.

[Installing A Crossover]

I can't find a 4 ohms stable amp with a LPF. Does anyone know of one? And thanks for the processor ideas.

[Installing A Crossover]

Are there any better options?

[Installing A Crossover]

I am trying to eliminate all frequencies above 100 hz. This model is a 100 hz low pass.

[Installing A Crossover]

This is a low pass so it eliminates all but the bass. But what do you mean "in line" with the RCA?

[Installing A Crossover]

How would I install one of these for my subwoofer?

Ok change of plans. I need an enclosed amp that can (stably at 4 ohms) provide 150 watts of power, that has an enclosed crossover. The Bash Amp is a plate, and I don't want to have to solder things.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

Then how do I connect the subwoofer to the sub amp? Basically it has these two little holes that look like they're for some kind of uniform connector (that is not plain speaker wire).

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

I'm a little confused, the "hi-level inputs" on the subwoofer amp are where u connect the subwoofer right.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

The subwoofer and subwoofer amp only appear to have RCA, am I right? But yeah you're right about 6 and 7.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

Ok, after an hour or two of reading I have come up with this:

1. Laptop

2. 3.5 MM Stereo Splitter

3. 3.5 MM Stereo to 2 RCA Plugs

4. 3.5 MM Stereo to 2 RCA Plugs

5. Full Range Amp

6. RCA Cable

7. RCA Cable

8. Subwoofer Amp

9. RCA Cable

10. Subwoofer

11. Desk Speaker

12. Desk Speaker

Will this work? And yes it took me an hour to figure that out.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

If I were to get one full range amplifier and one subwoofer amplifier, how could I make them work together?

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

No, I have 2 other desk speakers that need to be powered. How should I go about doing that.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

Bash 300 or 500 plate amp

Doesn't that only work for subwoofers?

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

I still can't find a home amp or receiver that is designed for 4 ohms though.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

Ok. I think the receiver is ok, I tested it out a few times after disconnecting the sub. At that I doubt if it was putting out more than 50-75 watts per channel, so the sub should be ok too.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

I know that it would ruin it if I did it too much, but it's not ruined just from the 12 minutes that I ran it for without a crossover right.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

Would what I did cause permanent damage to it? I ran it without a crossover, fairly loud, probably for about a total of 7-12 minutes.

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

Because a lot of people said it would make the receiver overheat and what not. This is not true?

[My First Sub Video. 10 Inch Jl Audio.]

I know it's not much but it's the beginning of what I hope to be a life-long love for subwoofers. LOL.

Note: Not running any crossovers right now, so all frequencies go to the sub.

On a related note, the subwoofer is 4 ohms and the receiver is designed for 8/16 ohms. Would this be bad for it?

[Receiver Vs. Amplifier?]

Also, if I am correct, could I bridge channels on the receiver to get more power for the woofer?

[Receiver Vs. Amplifier?]

But how can I make sure that the subwoofer channel can handle a lower OHM speaker.

[Receiver Vs. Amplifier?]

I was just thinking, basically if it has a ".1" after the name (i.e. 5.1, 7.1), it will have a subwoofer channel?

[Receiver Vs. Amplifier?]

Nice. Do you know of any such receivers? It would be so so great if I could find one.

[Receiver Vs. Amplifier?]

So my techie friend says that running a 4 ohms sub on an 8 ohms receiver will cause overheating and amplifier death. But you say no? Why the difference in answers.
