I have an old Technics sub(2 in fact). These passive units are 12" paper woofers, in a cheap box. I tuned the ports a bit when I powered them with a HK receiver alone. I want to strap an amp on one, for a special project that is coming up. I dont expect the world, but these subs worked pretty well with a 100wpc Rotel amp as well. That was a while ago. Any thoughts on a reasonable amp for the sub?
Do tell this special project. Are these subs part of a speaker or just the sub? I too have a pair of Marantz speakers rated at 165w that are at least 17 years old. Still work, just the domes were pushed it on the mid and tweets by a curious younger sibling.
I ponder on what to do with them. I'm curious as to what you're doing. I'm nosey lol.
