What sub x-over to get?

Active is the way to go. We manufacture a crossover, parametric, and digital switching amp for subs. It also has the ability to switch automatically from music to theater mode. It's only downside is expense, but it is very unique.

Looks like a great product, only 10x's what I wanted to spend :) You wouldn't happen to have a more affordable non-amplified version would you? The subs I plan to use do not need anything close to 1000 watts.....

thanks for all the input....

Admittedly, it's price is the biggest problem. The crossover that works independently really well is the Bryston 10B or the Marchand (though I can't recall the model that is used for subwoofer application like this).

We considered making a non-amplified version, but you wouldn't like the price of that either--neither did we. It would have been somewhere around $4000, and that's a lot without an amp. The amp is the best we've ever heard for this application--and that's saying a lot. In fact it was the amp that held the project up for nearly 2 years because we weren't satisified with the performance.
