how to Implement a High Pass Filter in my setup

hi all , 
i would like to know what's the best way for me to limit full range signal going to my front speakers. 
and at the same time managing cross over on my two subs. 

in my setup where its source > Digital Coax > DAC > Pre Amp > Amp , i have read that this can be done with a high pass filter. 

i need the flexibility to be able to change the dAc or pre amp or amp depending on my future needs. 

the question i have are
should the cross over setting just be set on the subs themselves?
where does the sub plug into in this signal chain?
if using a high pass filter is the best solution - which one should i get ?

do i then just set the cross over on the sub ?


Yes. It may help you to think of a crossover as having two components which are independent.  A high pass component, allowing high frequencies, and a low pass, allowing bass.  In this case they won't exist in the same device, but will work just the same.

Would the hsu Hpf work fine for me? It says I only have to select the two cross over frequencies I want it configured with does not ask me to select impedance .
Also I tried to read the manual for the sub but couldn’t find clear instructions on daisy chain can these subs definitely be daisy chained ?

Also I am still searching for the right pre amp / amp combo as well as looking at stereo integrated amps that have pre out / main in like the Nad c375bee or the wyred 4 sound sti500 that allow you to loop out and back in. With these ones can I put the yadaptors on and do the same thing and send one signals from hpf back into the amp and the other into the sub?

If you pre out and main in on an integrated amp you can do that. Why do you want to daisy chain?

if I only have one pre out and the run one pair of y adaptors that will give me two connections . So one will go to hpf and one to sub . But then how do I connect the other sub ? So I thought daisy chaining would be the only way

The left channel from the pre amp goes to the left sub and the left channel from HPF will go to the left channel of amp. The right channel from the pre amp goes to the right sub and the right channel from HPF will go to the right channel of amp. BTW, that wyred 4 sound sti500 does not have pre out and in. These are the instructions for the high pass filter!
