little home theatre question. plz help~
little home theatre question. plz help~
hello.
i don't know if this is right place to ask this question but here goes.
im new at this, so plz bare with me. i have a bandpass enclosure with 2 10s. i would like to hook this up to my computer.
i do have a 6.1 home theater receiver, but the dedicated sub channel on the receiver is not powerful enough to run 2 10s. when i hook it up to the subs, it barely makes sound.
can i add an external amp to this? or is there a way to bridge channels on the receiver to get more power?
any ideas? what is the best way to do this?
Thank you.

Go buy a home theatre sub.
You will need to add an outboard amp to power the bandpass subs.
Probably the easiest/cheapest thing is a plate amp which is made to install in a home subwoofer are fairly cheap on ebay.
Or check http://www.apexjr.com/amps.html and www.partsexpress.com for plate subwoofer amps.
You'll then run an rca cable from the sub out(l.f.e. out) of your 6.1 receiver to the plate amp inputs. Then just connect the amp to the subs with the speaker wire.

What is the impedance of the 2 10s? How are they wired? ... you could possibly rewire them to get a less resistive load and possibly more power out of your amp (at the risk of frying it) ... all in all, this really is not a good idea
Build yourself a subwoofer ... you will be much happier

grab a 12"er for $140 and a plate amp ... you will be in bass heaven.

thank you for your input guys.
is this a plate amp that you guys are talking about? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=300-804
are there certain brand name that you guys prefer? i really don't know nothing about home theatre stuff.
i believe my subs are mtx 5000. some old stuff. just couldn't let it go to waste. im not sure what ohm they are in. is there a way to find out what ohm they are? does it say on the back of the sub or something? im gonna have to open the box apart and see what it says on the back of the subs.
thank you. i will report back later today for more questions.
