Where could I get a crossover to hook a car sub up to my reciever?

Question

I want to hook a car sub up to my stereo reciever but I need a crossover and I don't know where to find one. Can you help?

Answer 1

you don't NEED a crossover, but you NEED an amp to power the sub because the radio cant push out the necessary wattage and all amps have built in crossovers that can be tuned

Answer 2

You can buy a crossover at any audio store that carries car audio stuff.  They usually have RCA in and out and you put it before the amp.  They're around $30.  If you don't have any decent car audio stores then look on ebay.  Just search for "crossover" and you'll find an even cheaper one.  But you could just get a cheap car amp with a built in crossover.  Almost every decent amp has a static crossover set permanently to around 80Hz.  The better ones have an adjustable crossover aka low pass filter that you can set yourself.  I bought three turbo cheap amps at a police auction and only one of them has a built in, static crossover.  Btw I dunno what exactly you mean by "stereo receiver" but if you mean the one in a home theater system as in inside your house, you'll definitely want to read this article about how to hook it up and power it indoors.
