HT question (yeah, another newb)

[PatFitz9 10+ year member]

okay, i am not really having any luck selling my old subs. can i just put them in a home theater set-up? i know that i would need a plate amp, but do i need a new box too? they are in a sealed box now, and if anyone wants to see the box or sub they are in my sig. they sounded good in my car, and i already have a Klipsh sub, but i kinda just want to play around. my reciever is a pioneer VSX-D514 if that matters.

and on the plate amp, where can i go to get 800 watts @ 4 ohms? i saw one at parts express but its 400 bux. i really don't want to spend that much.

edit: 800 watts is what i had in my car. would it be different at home?

For that kind of power, best to get a rackmount pro audio amp instead of a plate amp...

can i find any cheap amps with that power?

Define "Cheap"

less then 400, preferably less than 300

You don't have to have 800 in the home...... especially if you corner load them, 350+ would do pretty well I would guess.

Behringer EP2500

Behringer EP1500 comes to mind

Probably out of your price range, but look at QSC MX3000A.

$625. Notice how tore up the amp is, yet it has heathy bidding. These are

ballsy amps and nobody cares about cosmetics.

If you place a sub in a corner..... it kind of acts like a horn and amplifies the effect of teh bass more...... kind of. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
