An Fmod is an active crossover simulator. It plugs into the rca cable before an amplifier. It was most usefull back in the day when amplifiers did not have crossovers built in. They can also be used together in multiples to create a inexpensive bandpass crossover. They do a fairly adequate job for most tasks but a good active crossover is still a much better way to go.

lemans23, if the amp you buy has a built in crossover, you do not need Fmod's.
