Can I make a crossover??

When reading and/or responding to this post, please calibrate your frame of reference, since my "electronics education" is pretty limited.

That being said, I am cobbling together a second system with an old Kenwood KA 9100 integrated amp as the centerpiece. I have an old pro amplifier that I would like to use to drive an old passive sub that I've found, and connect the old amp to the pre-outs of the Kenwood. Don't want to send the full range audio signal to the amp, just, say, the bottom 60 - 80 hz.

Can I build a simple, non complicated crossover, and connect it between the Kenwood's pre-outs and the old amp's inputs? Given the nature of this system, I don't want to spend alot of cabbage on this if I don't have to.

Thanks for any suggestions on this!

Oops, you lost me, mdeneen. Again, my electronics grounding is not the best. Is there a diagram or schmatic that you could refer me to?

I think I've got it now ( a picture is worth 1000 words, I guess!). Last question: do I modify the incoming cables (to the amp) for both the left and right channels as shown in your diagram (since I've got 2 channels into the amp)?
