Some amps will come with "onboard crossovers". Headunits can come with them too. So... you can either do the crossover settings on the headunit or the amp, depending on which one you have access to.

What they do is split up the frequency range that will be sent to your speakers.

For example. An amp might have a "LOW PASS FILTER(LPF)", This filter will filter everything above the set value. "HIGH PASS FILTER(HPF)" will filter everything below the set value.

Why you need them?

Subwoofers are for low frequencies. You do not want someone's voice being played form your subwoofer as it will sound like crap. So, what you do is set a LPF of 80Hz so that the subwoofer only plays 80 hertz and below.

Now, you dont want your front speakers to play subwoofer frequencies because you would blow them easily. So what you do is set a HPF of 80hz.

so, finally... subwoofer plays 20hz - 80hz and your fronts play 80hz to 20khz.

hopefully gives u a good idea.
