After months of listening, I am missing one thing...the bump! I have a stereo receiver and 4 speakers hooked up at the moment in a relatively small room. On the back of the receiver is ONE input for a subwoofer. My questions are these. Do "pairs" have one wire where both fit into the receiver slot? If my budget is 150-250, what is a good subwoofer for that price? I realize I did not post any specifics, so if asked for I can - but I am mainly looking for a subwoofer in my budget. Nothing spiffy, just something that will add a decent amount of kick to my room. |

Bronze Member Username: FritosbbqtwistPost Number: 11 Registered: Feb-09 | Thanks for the advice guys. Now, I am a complete audio newb. Picking out speakers and receivers less than a year ago was my first experience with any of it, so go easy on me. I read around that some subwoofers need amplifiers? My receiver has ONE input labeled Sub... So, lets say I were to get the second sub you posted Art, would I have to buy it in a pair? Would I have to buy a separate amp for it or could it go directly into my receiever? If I do need an amplifier, is it just a "sub" amp, or does it work with the whole system? How much would that set me back for a *decent* one? As I said...I am audio illiterate. You guys here are the pros so thats why I am asking. |
