[QUOTE="jinx8402, post: 3200396, member: 541063"] Yes, Definitely use a crossover on your sub. Your amp should have one on it, so you won't even need to buy one. I'm not particularly familiar with that amp. But just look at the controls, and look to see for a knob that is labeled crossover. Make sure it is set for low pass, which it should be since it's a mono sub amp. Set the crossover point to anywhere between 50hz-100hz, depending on how it sounds to you. Also, make sure the gains are not set too high. That can cause the subs to clip, and potentially blow them. There is a nice gain setting tutorial on here that will show you how to set the gain properly. Also, you hu is probably only putting out 12.5 watts to each speaker. The 50x4 is a marketing ploy basically. That is the max output of the internal amp...but it will probably never put that out [/QUOTE]
