Got a pair of Dennis Murphy modded Pioneer bookshelf speaker. I need a sub with high level in and high pass filtered high level out or I will have to tack on a high pass filter to a sub without a filter. It seems like most new subs do not have high pass filters and depend on HT bass management.
Other option is to get a HT receiver with bass management instead of a nice two channel integrated receiver.
Looking to spend under $200 on the sub.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

Use the matching Pioneer sub.
has no high pass filter on the high level outs. They all assume a HT receiver with bass management will do the bass roll off for the sats.
Check out Parts Express.
The matching Pioneer SW8-Mk2 or Martin Logan 300 subwoofer with a Hsu high pass filter should do it for you.

You could also consider the infamous BIC F12.

The HSU filter is line level.
The high-pass filter in a powered sub is nothing more than an electrolytic cap.
Add your own in series with the Pioneer speakers and you can add a film cap in parallel so it will sound OK.
Banging on a galvanized washtub with a rubber mallet might cost you more than $200 nowadays.
Alternatively, a used Dayton Audio subwoofer might do the trick...
The new ones don't have HP filters the old ones are hard to find used.The speakers are a gift for my son to start him down the path. I suppose I could just give him a mallet.

This Dayton sure looks like it has outputs you request and below $200
It looks like the best sub for the $ and I will probably get it and tack on a DIY high pass filter
