milesmiles Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 So basically I need a sub amp and a receiver? Or would it be possible to power it all off the receiver, like my friend did when he was demoing the sub to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesmiles Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 But I'm just trying to figure out the two possibilities for a 2.1 system. So far I have figured this: 1. Receiver + Subwoofer Amplifier 2. Full range amplifier + Subwoofer Amplifier Are these the only two possibilities? I just need a straight up answer.

milesmiles Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I have a feeling the problem would be easier solved if someone sent me a message on AIM: MilesLPember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 If its just for your laptop you could get a 2.1 system from bestbuy with everything in it. if you dont want do deal will buyin multiple components. those are the only ways i can think of to do it 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 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 ive already bought all the components lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 oh. well if you have the money i would do the fullrange amp and sub amp. if not. look around at for bestbuy for different recievers. i couldnt find any 2.1 recievers that had all the specs about them on the net. but then again i didnt look super hard 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 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I checked BestBuy, they have a very limited selection of receivers (that don't come prepackaged with speakrs, which I don't want). Just to confirm, a 5.1 or 7.1 receiver would not work? Because of a difference in impedance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, bestbuy is limited. circuit city used to have a big selection of different recievers, but they are gone now. A 5.1 and 7.1 reciever would work, it would just have wasted channels if your only using two of them. The impedance difference shouldnt be a problem. Just look at the specs. If it has a sub amp built in, look for its minimum impedence. if it just has a pre out for a sub amp the sub impedence will only matter for the external 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...
milesmiles Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yes but the problem is that my subwoofer is way below the typical impedance of any home amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
