HT Help

So i have this blown powered subwoofer i want to hook up in my room to my current system which doesn't have a sub. The only thing wrong with the sub is the power supply/amp in it isn't workin, the speakers are in perfect condition and so is the enclosure. My reciever/amp has the extra power/channels to push the speakers itself, jus bypassing the factory amp in the sub. I hooked it up this way and it works but the problem is it gets the full range of the music i need a way to get the sub fed only 100 hz and less signals cuz it sounds like shit the other way. My reciever can't do this. I need like an external LPF or some kind of crossover right??? Where can i get something like this....need suggestions....

I think your best bet is to just replace the amp in the sub. There is a good selection of subwoofer plate amps at parts express.

Why not just replace the sub amp with something like this:

i was looking for something like that actually...but couldn't find any good places with plate amps...they were a fortune on ebay...yah i think i'll do that...eventually i'm going to get some better sub(s) and build my own enclosure but i could use that amp on them for now and then just transfer it when i replace the sub, thx thats all i really needed.
