Subwoofer Crossover

amoeba86 · 16th May 2003, 09:00 PM

I'm thinking of building a subwoofer to go in a computer speaker setup and i'll probably be using a gainclone amp to power it, however i'm not sure on what to do for the crossover. I can't seem to find any simple/cheap active crossovers, ideally i would want to cut out the low frequencies going to the satellites but if this is too hard i will just have a lowpass setup. Also is a passive crossover really that bad for a sub, quality isn't of the upmost importance as this is only a computer system but still if there is a relatively simple way of building an active crossover then i'll try to do that.

Check out kits, I built a Dick Smith one, seems good to me, I think Jaycar might have one also. Good luck
