fritosaregood Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 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 Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 The primary issue at hand here seems to be that the subwoofer is rated at 4 ohms while the desktop speakers are rated at 8 ohms. that shouldnt make a difference Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin - STAPUFT Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have this one pushing 4 12s: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=300-752 and it does quite a number on the house! I have broken things. They also make a 300 watt version. I have also owned a Dayton plate amp (until a direct lightning strike killed it). It was nice but didn't have the grunt that the Bash does.

Sp33dyG Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 The primary issue at hand here seems to be that the subwoofer is rated at 4 ohms while the desktop speakers are rated at 8 ohms. like i said get a reciever with a subwoofer preout connect ur amplifier to the sub preout on the back of the receiver then connect ur speakers to ur receiver and ur sub to the amplifier Quote the only person i wouldnt let build my box would be Ray.

fritosaregood Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 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 Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesmiles Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks for the help. So does this basically mean that I would only need one receiver, but I would need two amplifiers to run a 2.1 setup? And also to confirm that the difference in impedance between the speakers wouldn't mess up the receiver, even if it has 5.1 or 7.1 sound?

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.
