I have a headphone bass amp (The VOX amplug) which is pretty good for using with headphones for practice. I also have a pair of PC speakers which I use sometimes, which sound really crappy for bass.
I also have an old home theater sub (Sony SA-WMS7). According to the manual the sub can reproduce 24-150Hz. I was wondering whether I could use a splitter and give one output to the PC speakers, and another through a low pass filter to the sub. I tried the sub on it's own but the sound was really muddy, hence the idea.
I know a little bit about filter design but I'm unsure about whether an active lowpass filter would be able to handle the sub as a load. I'm thinking of using a
Butterworth lowpass filter with unity gain before I give the input to the sub (The sub also has an amp inbuilt).
Any suggestions guys?

Hi Y'all,
If you google for Sony SA-WMS7 you should find this link to a service manual: http://www.shema.ru/0_s/Radio/sony/SA-VE702.pdf
And, how long will a home 8" subwoofer last with a direct input from an electric bass?
Regards,

Hi,
I found that as well. From my quick perusal of the schematic indefinitely, as
it has a limiter board. In fact rather than needing a a filter if you bypassed
the low pass filters it would probably be a very decent practice amplifier.
(Except if the limiter does not like unexpected high frequencies, who knows.)
rgds, sreten.
I can't say trivially how to bypass the filters as i don't have the time,
but theoretically just removing several capacitors should work.
