    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    I have a friend who said I can have his JL 250/1 amp: http://images.sonicelectronix.com/images/148517/big/jl2501.jpg It has Preamp Output with Full-range, low-pass, and high-pass with the same cutoff as the low-pass frequency selected under Amp LP Filter. I'm assuming I could set the Amp LP...

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    ****! I guess my best option is the FMOD at HP 50 or 70Hz. I have a tweeter in each A pillar.

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    Site Show- Correct, the amp for the JL has pass-through only. Pictures of what? What you're saying is that I'm reading it wrong. The "50-500Hz" spec just means the cutoff range, not necessarily the max range when in HP. I originally replaced the factory underseat "subs" that were more like...

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    I have the factory BMW headunit with navigation. It doesn't let me set anything. I understood that HP = high pass filter it will allow everything above 50hz to play. That's why I was asking if I could set my RF P300-2 amp at HP and then 80 Hz. It will then play 80Hz to 500Hz, right? Would that...

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    Like I said, I'm new to this - what is bandpassed and how would I do that? The amp for my mids has Low-Pass (LP): 50-500Hz. If I put it at 80 Hz, that means it would go from 80Hz to 500 Hz. Is that worth anything?

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    The 2 8s are for mid-bass. Otherwise I won't have any. I'll see how everything sounds at LP. The sub for the 8s at LP 200Hz and the sub for the 10 at LP 80Hz.

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    What I was getting at was - by having "high-pass" on my amp, can I just use that and play from 80 Hz and above? Would save me $30, not a big deal but would prefer to save it. My P300 amp, running the mids has the following crossover controls: High-Pass (HP): 50Hz-500Hz 12dB/octave Butterworth...

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    My RF P300-2 has high-pass and low-pass. Can I just put it at high-pass and 50 Hz? That way it will play the SWS-8 subs at 50 Hz and above? Then put my R500 amp for the 10" JL at 50 Hz, so it plays everything below 50 Hz? H

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    Thanks! Just to make sure I understand- So the FMOD 50 Hz High Pass Filter will filter out anything up to 50 Hz? And it will go between the RCA cable that goes between the R500 amp and the P300? Then set the R500 for the sub at 50 Hz LP. Thanks again, H

    How Do I Add a JL Sub to My Current Setup?

    I have a 2011 BMW M3 with the basic HiFi system. I replaced the two underseat mid-bass speakers with Earthquake SWS-8 subs and added a Rockford Fosgate P300-2 amp for them. I used a PAC SOEM-T Line Out Convertor for the RCA output and remote turn-on. The Rockford Fosgate amp is running the two...
