I just got one and while reading the manual noticed that it says if your reciever has a built in crossover you have to run it off a full range output (ie. front or rear-unless ya go high level, but that sucks.) Anyway, that seems counterproductive. Can I hook it up to sub woofer output on my jvc kd-avx33 and be good? What's the real deal on this?

I think in order for it to work correctly, it has to see a full-range signal. It's a bass PROCESSOR/RE-PROCESSOR, not just a crossover.
Without seeing the fullrange signal, it may not process the signal correctly, and give you who KNOWS what as an output...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Yeah, now that I think about it, you do make sense. I called Audiocontrol on this (great company to deal with) and was told to run it off the front set of outputs. I hooked it up that night and if it is even somewhat correct, gained like 5 db from it.
