Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 3114 Registered: Feb-05 | So i have a 15 RE SE in my daily driver that I would Like to use as HT. Would it better to buy a sub from part express? Or would the SE work? |

My 15" Mag worked very well and my 18" Q does also. Are you looking into a plate amp or an external? PE has a decent 1000w amp in either rack mount or plate amp versions for $425. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 22645 Registered: Jun-06 | I used to run that very same Bash amp on some previous projects. Very good choice. I didn't know the power handling of that sub. Remember that 500w is into 4ohms. What's the VC config on that sub? The site also states this item has an unusually long lead time so expect a delay. I currently use the Dayton SPA1000 1000W plate amp on my Q. You can get it in an external rack mount too. |

Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 3117 Registered: Feb-05 | I might just do a Dayton TIT320C-4 12" Titanic Mk III Subwoofer 4 Ohm and the Bash 500 to start off with. what do you guys think? |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 327 Registered: Jul-09 | lowlife,sorry i dont mean to thread jack you. Just wondering what the criteria is in picking a good sub for ht? |
|
Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass2 hifonics 2607s, 2dcSounds12xls SPL\idmax12SQ Post Number: 13880 Registered: Jun-04 | if the purchase is truely for ht use you want something that can drop really low since most sound effects are in the lower region some can be sub 20 hz....the other thing you want is a sub that is good for the power range you want to use it also usually needs to have a four ohm final load for the amps |
|
Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 328 Registered: Jul-09 | Ok,so what about the wattage? If i have a 500wrms car audio sub. Would that 500wrms be the same in an ht setup? |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego, California Post Number: 5703 Registered: Dec-06 | Gus, Keep the SE and get a real amp like the one linked below. You will save some cash and be much better off. This amp is 10x better made and cleaner than any plate amp. It will give you 660 very conservatively rated watts bridged at 4ohms and will last you forever. http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crown-XLS-202D-Power-Amplifier?sku= 481584 |

Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass2 hifonics 2607s, 2dcSounds12xls SPL\idmax12SQ Post Number: 13886 Registered: Jun-04 | yeah you could bridge the sub to 8 ohms |
|
Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 3129 Registered: Feb-05 | Thanks Brad that amp seems like the perfect fit. |

Platinum Member Username: Insearchofbass2 hifonics 2607s, 2dcSounds12xls SPL\idmax12SQ Post Number: 13897 Registered: Jun-04 | id still suggest sealed |
|
Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 3130 Registered: Feb-05 | Sean, If i go sealed how big should i make the box? |
