Replacement amp for subwoofer
The 200W amps built into my 1982 a/d/s subwoofer finally gave up. It would or cost more to fix that replace.
Any suggestions under $300?
Would prefer a standalone box since no plate amplifier is going to fit in the old space.
This is downstream of the outboard crossover.
Thanks

Good question. I don't know. I usually DIY amps. It is very good for me, with a low cost and good effect. I design a PCB board and send it to http://www.nextpcb.com/?code=James Only $7 I got my PCB assembled amps board for 5 pcs. |
Stretch the budget a bit and you could get the Dayton SA1000 which is one mighty fine sub amp and the one I use in my DBA. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sa1000-subwoofer-amplifier-rack-mountable--300-811I'm using 2 but you really only need one of these to run four subs. That's what Tim does with his and what Duke sells with his Swarm subwoofer system. |
Not sure what went wrong with the old a/d/s amp in the subwoofer. It's distorting at any volume level over a whisper. Nothing visually wrong with the capacitors or any other components on the amp boards. I hooked up the two 10" speakers in the sub to my Schitt Vidar and drove with Spotify from my iPhone and they worked great, so it's the amp. Thanks for all the suggestions! |
