How Do I Convert a Passive Sub Into an Active Sub?
All right, so how would I go about doing this, converting my passive subwoofer into one that is powered and has the ability to connect into such a receiver? Something with amplifiers (Amazon) and stuff? Maybe I don't know what I am talking about, and my sub is actually powered, or I am just ignorant to the teachings of some sacred instructional guide which is followed by everyone and their brother. I have practically no understanding of audio, so if you start talking about cross over or something, I may as well be brain dead.
Thanks in advance!
Yes, you'd need an amplifier (preferably mono or bridgeable to mono) to use that subwoofer with your system. Something like this:

I think it's not worth it to do that though, as there are affordable active subwoofers available. Here's an example:

The larger sub will produce louder and deeper lows with less distortion.
