I have two of the Furman PST-8. One for my system and one for my IP phone and modem. They are plugged into a gold plated outlet I got a deal on. One unit also puts a breaker on the coax signal from my antenna.
Power for two subs.
Hi,
I’m thinking of adding two subwoofers and of course both require power.
I have duplex outlet with one outlet used for my amplifier.
That leaves only one outlet for two subs. Will a generic power strip suffice?
Do I need to purchase a conditioner? I really do not want to spend more than $350.00 if that.
Thanks.
The rec given by @noromance , is sound (sic). But, make sure your circuit isn't maxed out by the other equipment on the circuit. Subs don't take that much current, but you do want to have a little in reserve. And, if possible, get a whole house surge protector at the mains. It will make your electronics feel much better. B |
Furman PST-8 is my recommendation. Filters noise, excellent surge protection and below your budget. In general with high power appliances you want to use a power strip (not necessarily surge or conditioner) which has a built in breaker like this one. You want to avoid unprotected extension cords unless you know the wattage rating will not be exceeded. Extension cords without breakers are for lamps and table fans and not much else. Certainly not for room heaters! |
