Hello,
I am new to the site.
I have 3 Adcom amplifiers,1 x GFA 555se, 2 x GFA 565 mono block.
I'll most likely use the 565s to power my towers and that leaves me with the 555 which Id like to run for a subwoofer. What kind of crossovers can be used to ensure that i get the proper frenquency roll off. Ive been looking at Behringer crossovers but feel it may be overkill. I found some inline RCA low pass crossovers that are low cost, small and simple. Anyone with experience with these? to good to be true? Please help.
Also, since i'm on the subwoofer topic, I'm looking at building a subwoofer which will be used striclky for music. My main speakers are 3 way with two 8" for the lows. I'm looking at building a sub that will compliment the towers I have. I'm looking for tight fast bass. I also don't want to sub box to be gigantic... Any ideas? Any help?
attached is a photo of my towers I made.
Thanks
Dave

Sealed subs tend to be more musical, and smaller. Assuming you choose an appropriate driver.
I wouldn't expect great performance from a passive line-level crossover. There ought to be some boards out there for a basic fixed two-way 4th order crossover. These plans are for a three-way, but you can just leave some sections empty.

The only beef I have with it is that it used quad op-amps, and there isn't as wide a choice of quads compared to duals or singles. If you'd like a nicer quad op-amp than the disco-era TL074, there's the AD713. I've used the dual versions in a crossover and lived.
