[QUOTE="Seraphim38, post: 8234487, member: 638571"] FYI to the original poster, mono subwoofer amplifiers are commonly class D, which is far more efficient than class AB 2 or 4 channel designs. That means less heat dissipation, less current draw and more power for the dollar, since class D designs are cheaper to manufacture than class AB. Class D topologies are harder to get clean at higher frequencies, but low frequencies are easier to make happen. Suggested; acquire a simple 2 + 1 mono amp like the Massive Audio NX3, where you get a compact 2 channel stereo amplifier and a single subwoofer channel all in the same chassis. I believe several of the board sponsors sell this, or similar amplifiers at around $200. There's no reason to get anywhere near $400. [/QUOTE]
