Bsx Unregistered guest | I'm currently restoring two old (at least ten years old) home speaker boxes (they stand upright rectangularily with two 3" tweeters). I've removed all the speakers and I am planning on buying two new 12" subs and 4 new tweeters. I happen to have an old 300 watt car amp lying around and was wondering if I should simply buy a new home amp, or would it be cheaper to use the car amp for power? If it would be cheaper to use the car amp, exactly how do I connect it to the home electricity, and also, should I buy car subs or home subs? |
