Hi guys:
Just had the good fortune of incorporating a Descent subwoofer into a vintage two channel music system with good quality cone speakers.
The Descent has a built in low pass filter at 40hz and 70hz, but does not have a high pass filter. This lack of a high pass filter has me puzzled.
My preamp just has one set of left and right RCA jacks out (no low frequency out). To take full advantage of the Descent, and allow for a future stereo sub perhaps, I planned to do the following:
preamp left=>y cable=>Crossover/high filter=>poweramp =>left speaker
================>left sub input
preamp right =>y cable=>right Sub input
===============>Crossover/high filter=>poweramp=>right speaker
Question: How would you incorporate the sub into this system? Is my plan optimal? What are my alternatives to incorporate a high pass filter / crossover into the system? Best quality? Most economical? Best deal? Dumb ideas to avoid?
I have been researching and racking (or is that wracking?) my brain on this question for a while and would appreciate any input you might have.
Thanks,
