i have never done anything with home audio, but im looking for a sub that i can put in my dorn room and an amp to go with it. mind you i am a college student and dont have an outrageous budget. if someone could jst give me some advice to start me on my way i would be very thankful.
i try to stay away from this question. i know it is what everyone wants to know but lets just say i want an amp that can put out about 400 wats. honestly i have thought about getting a soundsplinter rl-i but for the time being i just might try using a type r or a sd2.5 even though they are car audio subwoofers, mainly because i have both of them. mainly i want know which amp, because i know how the subs work, but i have no idea about the home audio amps and how they work.
Power is nought without good implementation. Some of the best domestic relatively inexpensive subs, such as REL, Velodyne and M&K, do the trick with 'just' 150 or 200 watt amplifiers. It's because they're designed correctly. You may eb lucky and get good results with the units you suggest, but you're more likely not to just because of the materials, enclosure you'll build, etc.
