Adding a subwoofer/amp...... Crossover?
I'm considering installing a 12" subwoofer/amplifier in my 2006 Solara. I have the premium 6 disc changer unit with the amplifier behind the glove box. Is there any way to crossover all of the factory speakers cutting out the low-end so they aren't trying to reproduce low frequencies and let my sub do that work to avoid muddiness?
A high-school friend/circuit city roadshop employee suggested turning down the bass on my head unit and compensating by turning up the gain on the sub, but I can't help but think that would compromise the sound quality than if I could somehow use a crossover. I don't mind spending a little extra in the process to make the sound as good as possible. I also want to avoid replacing the head unit... I like the way it looks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
