Ian Stith Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 it depends on power, price and evereything, but for cheaper, and less power (under ~600watts) car amp, computer psu.. For large amounts of power (over 600watt) you should get a "PA subwoofer amp", or even a plate amplifier. I have used all. Im a broke student. still manage to have a pretty good system though.. (at least i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I would suggest using a "home audio" receiver / amplifier for "home audio" use ... Just saying Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ?? Try Here ... Sound Quality, What does it REALLY mean ??

Omega5002 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Home receivers nowadays only communicate with the plate amp of HT subs. I've only seen one 6(not 5.1) channel receiver with a dedicated sub channel for passive subs, and that's my Kenwood KM-X1 6 channel 600 watt rms ht power amp paired with my Kenwood KC-X1 preamp, which was the flagship of Kenwood back in 1995, mrsp was $2400 for both, I got it for $150 If you wanna power a sub in home, just buy a plate amp, psu's suck 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tito DeLatorre Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 DJ(pro audio) amps are the best way to power subwoofers for home and live application, if you plan on doing it with a car battery, be careful and keep the battery charged, its only good for around 600 watts rms until voltage drop, depending on the battery, and its not clean power by any means. even with the charger.
