Re: subwoofer

[Matt Willey <mwilley@logical123.net>]

	Well, if you are going to get much of anything out of a sub you
are going to need an amplifier.  Especially if you are going to run it
free-air like that.  As for the hook, don't run it off your speakers, as
this will drop your impedence, and probably blow your head unit amplifier.
Also, you really need a low-pass crossover for the sub.  Got really
complicated on you all the sudden, huh?  Good luck.
