IndianaBassHead Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 What's up guys? I've been thinking a lot about doing some home audio and I've decided I'm definitely going to very soon. I've got an re sxx 12d4 laying around and 2 sets of 6x9's that are 75 rms a piece. My question is, what would be a good home amplifier for my sub that puts out 1000-1500 at 2 ohms? Also, any suggestions on a receiver that could do 75x4 at 4 ohms? Keep in mind that I am working on a budget so it doesn't have to be top of the line. Just something that will get me by and sound good. Thanks!

b-dubs89 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 you would want to look at pa and comercial amps for the kind of power you want for your sub , crown , berhinger , cerwin vega , qsc to name a few . as for stereo or home theater receiver for budget i have been happy with yamaha , alot of yamaha stereo receiver are capable of driveing low ohm loads and deliver respectable dynamic power . to have 4 channels i think you would want to look at hometheater receivers , i have a yamaha htr-5740 and it will do 6 channel stereo in addition to a ton of other multi channel modes , the older yamaha surround recievers don't all have a 6 channel stereo option . another idea for you is to use car amps , computer power supply can produce enough current to run car amps , not sure how an amp rated 1500 watts at full tilt would go though . if you found say a 600 watt power supply , you could maybe figure 50 amps from the 600 watt supply , 600 divided by 12 = 50 . if you have a couple of has been computers sitting around there you go .
IndianaBassHead Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Posted July 14, 2012 ok, thanks for the info! I will definitely look into those. but with a 600 watt power supply, could i power a full 600 watt rms amp?

b-dubs89 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 it depends on the efficiency of the amp , if you can find a spec on what your amp's current draw might be that would help . they make bigger pc power supplys too .i think you can guess something like 70% efficient , and then clamp meter and volt meter you amps output and then do some math to figure out if it is feasible . me personally , i would get some home audio gear if you want to have a stereo in the house . the chance of fire or ruining equipment , or having some other problems going the route of car audio in the house is to great for my liking . but it has been done i didn't mention this before but parts express has a variety of amps , plate amps for making a powered sub too
