What exactly do you need and what are you using it for? Do you need this for your sub?

digikey, mauser, radioshack, pretty much any electronic parts supplier. buying just 1 might be a trick though. They usually will come in lots of like 100.

It is a cheap low pass filter, just a coil of wire really, that goes in series of the pos speaker wire and blocks everying except the bass.......

I'd make one my self, but I don't have anything to measure inductance.

Not effecient, but cheap.....jeez John......I though you knew about audio equipment? J/K

What do y ou mean by 100 mhz that is 100 mega Hertz thats an RF value and has no place in a speaker system. Thats for a VHF radio.

How much current does it need to handle?

<edit> Nevermind... just saw the power post. Needs to handle about 5A without saturating...

<edit 2> Don't bother making your own. An air core inductor is going to take a hell of a lot of turn for such a high value, so you need to go with a ferrite ring. That being the case, you'll need to order something anyway, might as well order the whole thing pre-assembled.
