    AER Compact 60 for bass?

    Hey, downunderwonder. Excuse my ignorance here ...so you think it passes the highs off when it detects very low frequencies or just let's the lows through and then somehow processes the signal via a sub generator..... Do I have that right? And I'm guessing by "silly" you mean good ?
