Hi,
You might know I'm working on an LM3886 Stereo amp. I'm a bit antsy you see...
While I'm in the amplifier/speaker building mode. Does anyone actually use a filter for a subwoofer? Is it worth it I mean?
EVENTUALLY, I'd like to get one of those nice 8" HiVi M8a's. Eventually...that is.
Also, is there a special type of amp required? Are 2x bridged LM3886s not good?
Thanks a bunch. Just out of curiosity.

I mean only a subwoofer. Just a subwoofer in a box...no other speaker.
Still?
Yes, still. if not the sub will sound poor.
You could use a PLLXO, a passive crossover (more expensive), or an active crossover 9even more $$)
If in doubt you can try it without a crossover, shouldn't hurt anything, but most subs are designed to only play on the lower end.
