external crossover recommendations

What would you recommend to pull off the low pass signal and send it to a subwoofer, prior to the preamp?

thanks

The unit has room analysis and PEq along with a very flexible low pass x-over and a basic high pass x-over (fixed @80hz, 12db/octave). If you need a different high pass set-up for your mains, you can afford a good one because the SMS is available on-line for $600. Good Luck Marty

They're not crazy expensive (starting <$1K) and reportedly sound good - though I've never hear one myself. Marty

Was trying to describe the limitation of fixed slope (rather than adjustable slope, like the low pass) high pass and momentarily forgot just where it was fixed. 6db/octave it is. Marty
