Id run a preamp EQ, gives you all kinds of adjustments at your fingertips for tuning /dialing in for about the same price as an external crossover.I run one of these at times and generally swap between my Kicker KQ9.But this one works quite well.You can find a Clarion a bit cheaper

It should do what you want and some..You will need one short RCA connection..like 6" or 1'-0..shorter the better..Be One set from HU to input for EQ, then the RCAs that are behind the HU will be placed on the EQ to sub,Mids, Highs to amplifier,so look for a short set of RCAs that will go from the HU to the EQ input,and that should be all you need

I think you will be very happy with it, and being a 7 band will give you alot more tuning capabilities to really clean up all of your music,and have alot more control tuning at your finger tips.
