Passive or Active Sub???


Hi,

I need help in deciding which way to go. I have a 6 channel amp (Elektra Reference) delivering 180 WPC and I am not using the sixth channel so I thought about getting a quality passive sub and drive it with the Amp. My room is small-medium sized (about 17 X 13) and I am interested in a very musical and quick sub. I don’t want to shake the house I just want something very tight and punchy for both 2 channel and HT. My gear includes JMLab electra (920, 905 and cc-30) and the processor is RDC-7 (Integra).

I would greatly appreciate any input or suggestions. Should I go passive? If so, which sub is recommended? (I guess I need a 10' or 12'). Price range is up to 1000$.

Feel free to suggest any ideas/ recommendations.

Thank you.

If you have an extra channel, try the Hsu passive tube sub for only about 350 dollars. They even have a fre 30 day trial period. What have you got to lose ?
