SlamminBeats Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 How should i run this? Should i just get a 5.1 receiver or is there a better way to go about this? I'm using it mainly for music but also will run my Xbox One through them.
Ricky Reboot Dean Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Any receiver would work. Depends on the sub you are using. If it is powered just use high level inputs if you don't have a low level output on your receiver to your sub amp. If you are using a passive sub I would recommend you get a 5.1 or 7.1 with a powered sub output. I am using a 2ch kenwood and have rca going to my subs (yes more than 1) via rca splitter but that is just me.
SIDE SHOW Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 nice big 2 channel for left and right, a dedicated monoblock for your sub.
Krakin Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 You could be like me and get a 7.2 radio for a pair of components lol. At least I'm Bi-amping them.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Krakin Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 You won't hear a difference, but if you do it will be insignificant going from 100/150 - 200W.

SlamminBeats Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Posted November 19, 2014 You won't hear a difference, but if you do it will be insignificant going from 100/150 - 200W. probably not. But i guess i should have phrased the question differently. How do you drive more power to speakers in home than the receivers offer? I am a real amateur at home audio. I know there are home amps but i dont know what brands to even consider or where to buy them.
Krakin Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 You buy a true amplifier, but you'll never really find much around 200W+ and cheap. At least from what I remember. And even then you'll need something that outputs in RCA or sometimes they only accept straight wire, but with a bit of knowledge it isn't hard to make your own cords.

Ok, im not trying to go crazy here. SO is it safe to say just get a 5.1 and just run 2 towers and my powered sub off that?
