I am trying to wrap my head around something seemingly simple, but will need some help, I'm sure. Only recently have I purchased an original Manley Stingray integrated amp. It solved some problems for me, but now I am aiming at adding a subwoofer out. At first thought, I figured that I could just add a Harrison Labs hi-pass inline filter each input (I only use 2), but right away, I realized that this would also filter the signal passing to the sub per speaker outputs. Fine, then what I should do is filter the inputs after the volume control so that the unfiltered input could then be passed on to the sub full frequency. Hmm, that works, at least until I decide to run the Manley full spectrum with different speakers. Yes, we need a switch for that. At some point it seems that the simplicity of the Manely passive inputs are at least lessoned by more and more contacts and wiring. My mind starts to circle and this is when I figure out that someone out there has maybe a little better answer. Thoughts appreciated. FWIW, the successor for the Manely was the Stingray II, which addressed all of this an more. If you are rich, you can let an expert do all of this rewiring for you.

Chris, I know that it is an option, yet I will tell the truth here. Arthritis is making what used to be fun, a 'buy now and pay later' scheme with my joints. This has been coming on for quite some time, and I am having to rethink a bunch of activity.
Also, when I make something from scratch, I can handle the thought of a mistake better than drilling into a finely finished product. Not that it has really stopped me in the past, but there are a few examples in my past that make me cringe.
Now, I will also admit that I have a special idea for one of the outputs as far as a physical mount. In addition, if I could just have everything, it would be cool to be able to switch the input of the power section of the amp to a high pass filter and allow the sub to use it's own low pass for the signal, as fed from the volume control output. Tempting thought, it is.
