I am an electronic music producer... and recently decided to take my show public.
I am in the process of setting up the CHEAPEST loudspeaker system I can manage.
I just recently purhcased a NADY SPA2400 Power Amp to power
Four 4ohm DVC subwoofers.
The subwoofers are recieving 1600 watts RMS @ 8 Ohms bridged.
I need a Low Pass Filter on them, but do not have the money to spend on a nice pre-amp crossover/ active crossover? (Or should I make money to do so)
I have read you can build your own LPF's / HPF's/ band passes rather easily.
Amazon.com: 100 Hz Low Pass 8 Ohm Crossover: Electronics
Would this handle the 1600 RMS 8 ohm load?
What do I do! Where do I go! What's going on.
Money concious. Extreme audiophile. Wants to place LPF's /HPF's/Band pass filters on EVERY single one of my speakers! I want a very kick *** sound system...
How do I do so?
THANK YOU!!!

Money is time !!! Time is money !!!😛
Copper being very expensive , you should really go active !!!
As a matter of facts , building it would cost about 30 $ , which is the price of
a little 5 watt transformer for supplying 2 or 3 dual OP-amps plus a handful of components . Just add the (metal shielding ) case and the interconnects and you can hit the 50 $ . But for a little more than the double cost you can purchase an already made active crossover , which has all the regulations ( knobs ) to set properly the levels .
I know an electronic producer that makes good music but he's totally freak when listening to it : he presses all the buttons and turn the knobs on his amp , then ,unsatisfied , he adds a graphic EQ and the result is DEATH metal , but he likes it !!

Thanks for the advice pico! That does make sense. I wonder if there is a flexible enough active filter for hitting a couple birds with one stone. I'd like to control multiple amplifier channels dedicated for different speakers with bandpass filters.
I am very new to hardware... But very, very interested. I was hoping a little DIY would lend insight :/ I also hoped it was the easier cheapest way! In the high leves of wattage I am using is it hard to build filters too? I read some tutorial that seemed to talk like you only needed "coiled copper wire" and some equation work. Is that cheap and easy?
How do they usually make the inside of a 3 way speaker? Are they passive crossover inside? It'd be fun to build my own speaker stacks like that!
Any more advice would be great. Thirst for knowledge
