hook up passive sub with home amp at home?

[hirichard]

Ok so I have a good amp but no way to hook up the sub? I'm just gonna look for a powered sub. Thanks all!

basically, yeah. thats why you were hearing "full range" sound through the sub...there was no crossover.

300 watts probably more like 75-100

I really enjoy my Definitive Tech Subwoofer. You can pick up a SuperCube on Craigslist for pretty cheap quite often.

i can use a crossover to power the sub?

 

[Totalimmortal]

No. What was posted looks to be a passive crossover, not the best idea. You're on the right track getting a powered sub

 

[Quicksilvercord]

You can use the crossover to power to the sub, and your to front speakers. Its not the greatist but its the cheapest option you have.

True, but it'll work for his application.

 

[ryan s]

itll work, yeah. i have 120 watts on a cheap 10" sub and its always been WAY more than enough. been told to turn it down numerous times

whats this about a crossover powering the sub?

I see what he's saying about the crossover, but keep in mind it'll be cutting power output in half.

I get complaints ALL THE TIME for my setup LMAO. Each tower has a 300 Watt powered 8" Subwoofer with two passive 8" radiators. Then a seperate 300 Watt 8" powered sub with a 8" passive radiator. 900 Watts of powered sub
