Hi guys recently started doing some small scale portable and homemade audio systems , like a 2.1 home system using PSU and car Stereo and 2.1 using a 2.1 amp + MP3 decoding board(with USB,SD,AUX and bluetooth input) , portable stereo using old (but good) USB speakers with battery and have a few other projects in mind to do soon. Currently Im thinking of a 2.1 portable - so far im thinking 2xPAM8403 2x3W 5v amps , 1 for left/right and 1 for the woofer , but I have noo idea how to make a filter for the woofer and thats what I need help with to make. It has to be something small , best would be that I could use the lfet and right channels from the second amp for the woofer , can anyone explain to me what I have to do to make something like that ?
You can use a 10k series resistor from each input, and connect the output ends of the resistors together.
Then filter this mono signal with either a simple passive RC filter, or an active second order op amp filter.
For example, a series 15k resistor and a shunt 0.1uF capacitor would give an 80Hz rolloff (including the 10k parts).
Do you have a level control on the bass amp? If not, you can add one after the RC filter.
This would need to be figured into the frequency calaculation

?
Can you build simple circuits? If so, decide first what frequency to set for the woofer.
Also, is there a level control on the bass amplifier?
So I need something like this right ?

The effective Thevenin R value is (15k +10k/2) = 20k
1 / ( 2 x 3.14 x 20k x 0.1uF) = 79.6 Hz
I doubt you'll find a suitable potentiometer for your powered sub. You have to insert the filter before the amp.
