    I recently aquired a PPI Art Series A600.2 amp from my uncle for $175. The amp gives great power, but it's missing the basic things that new amps incorporate, such as a built in crossover. I bought a Pyramid crossover not too long ago, but it is complete garbage. $20 down the drain. It took out the desired frequencies, but it made so much noise, it wasn't worth it.

    I need a QUALITY crossover. All it needs to do is deliver low signals to the the PPI amp. This is ONLY for my sub amp. No extras needed (bass boost, highs/mids cross, etc..). I'd like to spend as less money as possible, but as I have experienced, you get what you pay for. So I'd refer to it as a "deal". I'm willing to spend up to $100.

    Thanks.

    I used to have this Coustic crossover...
    It was exactly what you are looking for...
    It was the reference standard of the day, like 15 years ago... :lol:

    Anyway, so so many companies copied this design - or realistically, I'm sure on the back end, simply used the same buildhouse.

    I'd search the classifieds around here, or other forums, and see if you can find a crossover that's a little more reputable brand...

    Are you simply looking for something like a simple LP filter?
    Or a HP filter?
    Or something more complete?

    The Coustic that I owned had one input, and three outputs...
    One for a front set of speakers, high-pass...
    One for either a midrange/midbass, could be high-passed, or band-passed...
    And one for a subwoofer, low-pass.

    Something like that, today, could probably be had brand new for $100.
