Subwoofers.....Leave On/Off?


I run dual Sunfire Sub Juniors in one of my A/V system and really like what they bring to the game.
They are connected to independent power strips, which I use to turn them on/off since they lack the
auto on/off feature most subs now have. Both subs emit a sizable thump when I power them up/down,
making me wonder if I'm doing more harm than good by not leaving them on full-time.

My monthly power bill reflects the amount of equipment I have plugged in throughout my home, so I'm
trying to lighten the load, so to speak.

My dunlavy sub amp just went out a few months ago.  It’s been always on since 1994.   It does notspin the power meter  very much at idle.  I just use an external amp with it now.  My 2 class a amps ,on the other hand, add over 100 per month to the electric bill
