Soya Supersonic July 10, 2004 Share July 10, 2004 you'll definitely get more bass but not necessarily better quality sound. not all tubes come wif amp. for this, u gotta get the powered tube which is hooked up directly to yr HU preouts and is run independently frm yr speakers. better to balance the additional bass wif a comp setup in front.

Yttrium Neutral Newbie July 18, 2004 Share July 18, 2004 If your amplifier has trimode capability you can do this. Simply connect the front components as per normal and for the subwoofer, bridge the -ve of one channel and the +ve of the other. You'll have to check your manual if you can do this with your amplifier. The sound quality of your components won't be as good as before but this is one way you can add a passive subwoofer before you invest in a seperate amp to drive it.

Alan22 Neutral Newbie August 8, 2004 Share August 8, 2004 oh ic ic so with abt 500 can i get a bass tube with built in amp and component speakers? i think ur budget of 500 is too low...maybe can get normal brands like BOSS 6.5" component speakers for 100+. den get one 100 to 200 plus 4 channel amps.. get one 10" kickers for maybe 150++ and lastly a ported box for tat ( the box depends on custom made or ready made ). this sure runs better den getting a bass tube...

Darkness Neutral Newbie November 30, 2004 Author Share November 30, 2004 (edited) bro ask u huh...does it matter what brand of amp i use...i went to autobacs and they have some amps abt 200 (power acuistics i think)....is it good enff? Those Alphine amps seem very expensive. I listen to fast bassy music and celine dion type of singers I was looking thru some webbys and decided on the following: Speakers (front): JBL P650c or GTO 606c (6.5")...any idea what is the cost? Amp: Some cheapo 4 channel one (how many watts???)wat brand shall i get? Woffer: kicker 10" (comp series) with box u said 150+ + box how much??? (where to get) can i use the same amp as above thanks Edited November 30, 2004 by Darkness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
