Need sub with low-pass filter & line 'out' -- suggestions?

Hi All, how common is this feature? I need a sub that let's me manage the crossover (low-pass filter) then gives me a left & right line out to send back to a separate amp. My own Infinity Interlude iL100 does this, but this is for another location and I'm not giving mine up. I'm not aware of whether this is a common feature or not. I recently purchased a new Andrew Jones sub but it does not offer what I'm looking for -- no line out.

Thanks for any ideas.

I'd say it is a somewhat common thing, but certainly not all sub amps have this - you'd need to check the specs on a given sub of interest to verify it has it. A quick look at some commonly recommended subs shows one manufacturer who does not have it and another that does.

The fact is, a Y-splitter for those lines will do much the same thing for you as the outputs on a sub amp are either a fixed x-over or unfiltered. They are NOT affected by the sub's x-over setting.
