Post Advice on crossover

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a bass rig that Id like to start using as my work horse, its not very good and I own one thats a lot better but I try not to bring my best equipment to most gigs.

Anyway this rig has a 400 watt power amp at 4 ohms going into a 2 x 10 cab @ 8 ohms and a 1 x 15 cab @ 8 ohms.
Im finding that the tens are moving to much with the bass and id like to split the signal to send the lower frequencies to the 15 inch speaker.

Ideally I'd like a passive crossover that I can install inside the amp.

I've spent days searching online for something. Even a kit would be great. Any help would be much appreciated.

Passive crossovers install inside the cabinet, not the amp. You don't want to use a true crossover anyway. See this thread:

Speaker configuration advice?
