Might be kind of obvious, but do you really need a crossover? Why not just hook the sub up to the LFE out on your AVR and use the crossover built into the AVR? (one of my subs is passive with no crossover and it works great that way)

Edit - sorry, meant hook your Carver up to the LFE out on your AVR and hook the speaker outs on your carver directly to the woofers in your subs? (might want to put some binding post plates in place of the amp hole. Get some decent binding posts, and you are done...)

thought about that but the fine tuning would be nice and yes i will put plates with binding posts but will make them my self have the luxery of a machine shope at work

If you would normally use the LFE the crossover dosnt matter anyway because the LFE bypass the crossover. I second McLoki just use the avr.

Personally I would just hook up the speakers through the LFE and if you want the ability to fine tune, put about $85 twords a BFD. (I have one and its great)
