there are several XM3s listed on ebay.. that was just one.
the XM3 will allow you to adjust the output level of the subs by attenuating the input signal.. so you can use the level setting to help balance out the subs with the rest of the system. very handy for that.

you may, at some point, want to consider good front speakers with an amplifier for them to help balance the sub as well.

Coustic XM-3

that's all ya need
mounts with or by the amplifiers, under a seat, where ever you have room.
it's not that big, and once it's set up, you don't need to mess with it.

search ebay for the make and model
they're cheap
Coustic XM-3 or XM-3e

There's got to be some sort of processor/crossover that you set and leave behind the dash or right at your amp, so you should be able to hide it.

i just have one red and one white... so i should just get an electronic cross over huh??? hmmmm i just want it to look plan so not to attention when ppls look you know... thx all

either way he'd be best off with a signal processor to handle it.. otherwise he's going to lose sub control, or fade ability.
I guess that's up to him though

Is that 2 sets of preouts? Or just a red/white pair?

by **GlassWolf** » Wed Jul 27, 2005 5:47 am

you'll need one of two things
an electronic crossover, like a coustic XM-3 of Audiocontrol 4XS, or
you'll need an EQ or preamp that has one pair of RCA inputs and 3 sets of outputs with fader, balance, and subwoofer level control.

only other option is a different head unit.
for one pre-out to six amp channels, you shouldn't just use Y splitters.
