Hi,
I recently bought a Boss BX15 subwoofer crossover, however for now I intend to use it OUT of a car. I don't know a great deal about car audio and have run into a problem - some help would be great!
I have bought the crossover to use temporarily as a lowpass filter with DJ mixer going into a PA amp via the crossover as it is a much cheaper option than buying a real DJ crossover for over £100. It was guess work though - I wasn't a 100% confident it would work!
Anyway here is my problem;
To power my crossover, I have got a normal mains to 12V DC plug and chopped the end off. I have inserted the two separate wires into the 12V+ and REM terminals. The power LED lights up bright green, so it seems on!
I have inputted into the crossover via RCA from the DJ mixer and have the output RCA going into the amplifier.
Problem is, no signal is being received by the amplifier! nothing seems to be getting through the crossover.
There may be a really obvious flaw in this layout, and it would be great if someone could highlight it. If it's not working because it's faulty, then the headsup would also be great.
Many thanks!
EDIT: for a dedicated sub amp usind 2nd output of mixer
