you'd want the SSF set to about 16Hz to 25Hz depending on how steep the Q is.

32Hz is a bit high.

could have somebody just build a passive filter
high pass, 3rd order, say... 25Hz

Got a cheap solution. Partsexpress.com sells FMOD inline RCA Subsonic filters for $20. They are high pass at 20Hz. Hope this helps.

if they're line-level (RCA) filters, they'd work just fine.

the are RCA's, but the guys at Discount Car Sterio in WA said that FMOD are a piece of crap!

are they just stupid or is there some reason for them to say that???

will the 20hz high pass work for me if i tune to 34hz???

yeah 20Hz is fine, and a filter is a filter. there's not much you can mess up with one.
it's just a network of caps, coils, and resistors.
