How are you going to power it?

Most receivers dont have an amp channel for a sub, they have a preamp out, and if its a home theater receiver with Dolby Digital it will have a lp crossover already.

my garage system is a pair of 4 ohm car audio subs running through a passive crossover. 200Hz LP/HP 2-way. I have a pair of car audio speakers in custom boxes as well. been running this for over a decade.

I use a Pioneer SR-203X. got it new in the mid 90's but it does a great job. Actually, right now I have an Onkyo Integra DTR5 in the garage running it. The Pioneer is at a friends house powering a pair of pro audio speakers.

you can buy passive crossovers at Parts Express.

dude, that is not a receiver. that is a boom box. it won't run subs.

you'd be lucky to get 10W out of that boom box. it won't hurt the subs one bit. but it won't sound very good either.
