i just upgrades my sound system in a 2007 ford escape to include a subwoofer...unfortunaley the HU does not have any LPF controls, although this is selectable on the dedicted amp....

as i kinda like to have this functionality available up front, does anybody know of any aftermarket active LPF's that i can install to provide me with this functinality?

Thanks,

Ed

The search term you're looking for at the car-stereo-gear sites is "Active Crossover".

Sometimes this feature is built in to aftermarket equalizers, although there is such a thing as a dedicated active crossover box.

If the feature is built into your amp, though, why do you want it up front? A crossover is something you generally fiddle with only when you're first setting up the system, and then it doesn't really get changed after that.

in my Miata i have an adjustable LPF for the sub and i find that i do change it often depending upon the music i listen to...the bass lines from 70's R&R is far different from some contemporary artists and thus i have to filter out some of the higher bass to get rid of the boominess....

Ah! So you finally got rid of that alternator whine...

Well, if you're using an Empeg you can just pick a different EQ preset.

would love to do that but dont have it installed in the escape yet!
