I have 2 polk audio 12inch gnx124's hooked up to my home stereo receiver.I have the recevier on surround mode.The subs sound good but they are getting some high frequencys to them.
haha, i love eclipse, but no i dont work at a car audio place, they refuse to hire me, they think im a dumbass(true, but mean lol) i dont know much about car audio lol. but bb and cc wont hire me either
are there anyway i can hook up a crossover to my home stereo receiver.You must have alot of money then to have some eclicps subs.or you might have found them for a good price.

how did u hook the subs up to ur reciever i tried it but they wouldnt work i just figured there wasnt enough power
Ok,there are different channels on the receiver.They are a center channel,2 surround channels,and 2 front channels.You use the front channels to hook up your subs.But you have to turn it on surround mode.If your receiver has a sourround mode on it.Then your ready to go.You could use it not on sourround mode but they distort very bad when you turn it up.This is all thats on my receiver.You might have more channels.Tell me what kind of receiver its is and help you with hooking it up.
ok if u can find some old tower speaker boxes for some 12's u could use that. they already have crossovers in the box to seperate the highs from lows, well its not exactly a crossover like your thinking, more like bass blockers and treble blockers. but thats wut i did when i put some old kicker subs in my room, found some old bose boxes.

ive tried 100 diff ways to hook it up but still come up with nothing not even any kinda sound
u have even tried a crossover?. I bring my car subs into my room during winter and i use them, i take the wires from my "Woofer" from my tower speakers and splice them and connect speaker wire enough to get to my subs, it sounds alright, but dont forget. Ur recievers not a car amp. it isnt putting out Certian frequencies and the proper watts n ohms that you would expect. DONT BURN OUT UR RECIEVER
