What do I need to hook up a system in my room?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, so im planning on buying a large amount of tweeters, mids/ highs, and about 3 subs, but I was just wondering what I need to power it. Not including those things, I have a $300 budget. I really don't want to spend more than that. Any suggestions on what I can get with that? Do i need amps, mixers, receivers ect. thanks.

A 300$ budget deffintaly will not get you what you want, well of you want to do it properly, planning on running HT amps or car amps? Prolly gonna run you 300$ or more just to set up a power supply for car amps+ the price of the amps, and HT amps get VERY expensive

The receiver I have in my house alone was 450$

Could just run the car amp off of a 12V battery with a trickle charger on it. Won't get a 14+ V charge so just be smart. A marine battery with a high AH rating and large reserve should do you fine for around $100.00 - $120.00.

What I will tell you though is when I ran an old school 15" on about 500wrms I didn't want to push anything to much and I was in the freshman dorms I put the sealed box inside my large sliding door closet, it acted basically as a large 4th order bandpass and got considerably louder. So if you won't be running too much power, basically a single 12V, try to stuff the subs in your closet or something allowing them to pressurize the smaller space.

For $300.00 though, you'd basically have enough to buy a decent 12V power cell, a small mono-block, and most of a small 4-channel. No speakers. No subwoofers. No wood. Nothing else.

Gonna need a bigger budget.
