That is good good advice but...

209.63.10.23

That is an excellent idea, but I am running the full range signal from my speaker terminal outputs and am relying on the crossover network in the amp. I have considered simply installing a 24db(?) crossover (actually just a coil) set for my usual listening point of 60db. Outside of using an electronic crossover, I don't see any other way of going about it. I have considered trying to tie the low level inputs into the crossover network and thus not have to use the cheesy binding posts on the amp.

I am also still using the cheap hookup wire and clips to connect the amp to the subwoofer cable. I have the amp sitting in a box with binding posts on the outside where I connect my sub cable to. The subwoofer cable is made of three runs of cat five plenum rated cable, braided (3 whole cable braided, not individual twisted pairs) and then I have the cable hard-soldered to my sub. I figure that I could probably get some improvement from replacing stock hookup wire with something beefier and directly soldering it to the posts on the PCB.
