Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 17:18 GMT What is the main difference between the JBL BTX 250 or another tube woofer and a regular sub in a box?

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 17:50 GMT Difference as in SQ? Besides the physical difference, not much performance wise. Most people with limited space buy tube subs. For best SQ, a sub in a proper box will sound much better.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 18:04 GMT It sounds like a decent product. I'm not really into tube subs cause I didn't find one that fit my quality standard.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 19:31 GMT You'll need 12v power supply (around 15A-20A)since it has built in amp. That's about it.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 19:50 GMT Well you will need rca cable to connect it to the tube sub but that's given. You don't need a splitter unless you're planning on sharing the dvd player's output with another amp.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 - 20:02 GMT Converter as in power supply? You can get one from most electronic/hobby stores. eBay has it too. Look for any 12v power supply with 15A-20A. The cost will vary anywhere from $30 - $100. You could build your own for probably less.
