[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8008849, member: 576029"] yep, you can. you can just find an EQ that includes a volume control. then add a switch for power on (both battery and remote turn-on). but you will waste a lot of money and time doing this. it is asked a lot because people have amps laying around. the price for the PSU's is hundreds of dollars - since they need to source high amperage. a 12VDC 40A PSU is around $100. buy a used receiver instead of the amps on PSU's. $20-40 can fetch you a receiver. then pick up a passive crossover (200Hz 12dB/oct) works fine for subs/speakers. I know this because i've been running car subs and car speakers of home receivers for almost 15 years. it's cheaper for me to buy a used receiver than for me to build my own PSU. I also use plate amplifiers to run subs - which is ideal since they include flexible inputs (high and low level), they auto turn-on, and have adjustable crossover and level. [/QUOTE]
