[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3091087, member: 561023"] [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif[/IMG] Welcome to the forum. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] First off I have to wonder at what site you're looking at that shows resistors and capacitors being a necessity for the addition of a subwoofer? You'll want to have some method of filtering out the frequencies typically considered midbass, midrange, and the higher frequencies seeing as a sub, naturally, isn't particularly suited to reproduce those sounds. From the looks of things,though, wherever you're looking is wanting to make it more complicated than it has to be. To add that subwoofer you'll need an amp which outputs an appropriate level of power for the sub you're intending to use, the correct wiring to hook up the amp, obviously, and an enclosure that is well-matched to the subwoofer it is intended to house, and some method of filtering out the frequencies that a subwoofer isn't meant to try to reproduce. If you could provide us with a bit more information about the specific subwoofer that you're talking about as well as what comprises the rest of the setup it's being added to we'd be much more capable of giving you an educated response. What brand of subwoofer is it? What model number if you know? How many voicecoils does it have and what Ohms-value are each of them? Do you already have the amp you mean to power this sub with? What brand and model is it? What kind of headunit (your source unit) are you using? Brand and model of that as well, please... [/QUOTE]
