I love the toilet seat argument, if i can lift it, you can put it down

most home sub amps will go down to 4 ohms. i have a pos insignia 5.1 system that has a 3 ohm minimum sub amp

you said it was 4 ohm right?

Yea, bestbuy is limited. circuit city used to have a big selection of different recievers, but they are gone now. A 5.1 and 7.1 reciever would work, it would just have wasted channels if your only using two of them. The impedance difference shouldnt be a problem. Just look at the specs. If it has a sub amp built in, look for its minimum impedence. if it just has a pre out for a sub amp the sub impedence will only matter for the external sub amp

oh. well if you have the money i would do the fullrange amp and sub amp. if not. look around at for bestbuy for different recievers. i couldnt find any 2.1 recievers that had all the specs about them on the net. but then again i didnt look super hard

If its just for your laptop you could get a 2.1 system from bestbuy with everything in it. if you dont want do deal will buyin multiple components. those are the only ways i can think of to do it

the things i posted doesnt need a reciever

you only need 150 posts

it should go: Laptop connect this the laptop headphone jack: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...FTOKEN=26967993 connect that other end of that to the first amp: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...FTOKEN=26967993 connect one end of this rca to the 2 ch amp: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...FTOKEN=26967993 connect the other end of that rca to the sub amp: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...FTOKEN=26967993

If you have a reciever, you just need the reciever and and amp for the sub. The things i posted were both amps, one for speakers and one for the sub, in that setup you laptop would kinda be considered the reciever or thats where the signal would be coming from atleast. edit: and different impedance between speakers and subs wont do any harm, the sub amp is usually external anyway.

Ive got that amp one a 15" dayton sub. things fall of shelve to say the least, to say even more neighbors come over to make me turn it down cuz their windows are rattling

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=181-594 that will get the signal from the laptop headphone jack to the first amp then connect the fullrange 2 channel amp to the sub amp with this http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=181-652 it should be easy

that shouldnt make a difference

this, if you can get the signal from the laptop to the amp. This amp is fullrange. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=302-649 then run an rca wire from the output of that amp the the input of sub amp

from the other thread, no a sub amp wont do speakers too, it wont even have the frequency range? Is this going to be a home theater type setup that you can plug your laptop to for music?

a reciever will have power to cover speakers, but an external amp is usually needed for the sub.

What all will be running off your 12 volt source

oops

do you have a 16volt alt

I was lookin at knu wires to, then i think i saw it said it was tinned too. Now that i know what it is, Ill look back at them.

im not finding coppercableman cable on ebay. do you have a link?

ok, wat does the coating help on? oxidation? is that wat happens to copper. ive got wire from ebay before, it was superfat wire, says its all copper and 4100 or 4400 strand count i think

its going to be for 2 sundown 3000s

Im looking at gettin more 0 gauge wire and was looking into stinger. Its says the wire is "tinned". Is that better or worse than using wire that is just copper?
