 Questions:
Can I create a passive sub and use an external (inexpensive) stereo amp to drive it?
Do I need to use a crossover?
I love the look of those cylindrical subs!
So much to learn!!! Please be gentle with me! |
1. Yes you can make a passive sub and run it with a leftover stereo amp. You can either use one channel or (if the stereo is capable) bridge the channels for a mono signal. I'm not sure if "twin magnet" is the same as dual voice coil. If so, you can run each VC off one channel. Make sure the stereo can deal with a 4 ohm impedence if you do that!
2. If your reciever has a sub out you don't need a crossover. If it doesn't then you do.
