Subwoofer power to go with 100 watts/channel
I have a 5 channel amp with 100 watts per channel. If I add a powered
subwoofer how much power should I have on the subwoofer? Should the subwoofer be 100 watts also to match the power for the individual speakers? Or do I need more power in the subwoofer, than for the other speakers? |

the amount of power vs. the other components is really irrelevant. The 5
channel amp is likely not a true 100 watts anyway. You should look into a sub that is within your budget and sounds good to you. I would recommend the following. http://www.audioreview.com/Subwoofer...1_2741crx.aspx I bought one myself online and did the mods....it BLOWS away anything sold at best buy or circuit city. I know this because after trying them all I stumbled across the SW-15 reviews and mods online. Total cost of mine was $154 shipped and modified. It makes the Polk at CC sound like a 6" and the JBL can hold it's jock. By far the best bang for the buck you will EVER find. I would highly recommend the changing of the internal speaker wire to at least 10 gauge...I blew a fuse or two before finding a web page mentioning it and it has not happened since. plus the service from audiosource is second to none....

Maybe the trick is just go in and buy something, not too expensive that sorta' sounds okay. I'm not too worried about it really. |

why? I mean they each only really carry 3, and I think they both do the JBL
version, so that makes 5 subs to audition in my home for about two weeks each, take them back and exchange for something else, if they don't perform you don't buy. It's really not all that hard. In fact it's actually a very good idea, they give you 30 days no questions for refund or exchange, keep your receipt and repack properly, they can't say boo diddly. Thanks for caring anyway "Kalman Rubinson" wrote in message ... On Sat, 28 Feb 2004 22:35:09 GMT, "ReEfErMaDnEsS" wrote: I know this because after trying them all ..... All? Amazing (and doubtful).

look at it this way, at CC or BB you'll pay well over $350-400 for something
that sounds okay, or may less that 200 for something that excels at home theater sub delivery. the extra $200 makes quite a nice DVD collection. "Cathryn Mataga" wrote in message om...

Thanks for caring anyway Who is "they?" Were you restricting this survey to one vendor? If so, I must have missed that. If there are only 5 under consideration, I withdraw my comment.
