Here my design for my passive pre-amplifier. It does have two active crossovers in it to make a high pass for the TB's and a low pass for subwoofer. I also threw in a volume control, source selector, and gain controls for each channel of the high pass, and one for the low pass. Those are important because I do not plan on a volume control on my amplifier, just an on and off switch. I might take out the subwoofer gain as the plate amplifier has one, but it would be convenient to have one on hand and not under the desk.

I currently have the TB W3-871's, which I plan to switch over to John "Zaph" Krutke's box 3 design with notch filter.

The subwoofer will be a TB W6-1139SG ported to 34 Hz, in a .5 cubic foot box. Dimensions are, 10.6 W, 15.4 H, 7.8 D, with 1 inch diameter port by three inches long, Powered by a Dayton 25wRMS plate amplifier. It gives a nice flat output, and has -3db roll off at 30 Hz. Not bad for a 6.5 inch woofer huh?

The Hagerman bugle may come a bit later.... I plan to have a separate power supply from the bugle itself because of the design of the bugle. I can also run it on 9v batteries if I need too.

The crossovers and power supply are made by Marchand Electronics Inc. They are kits, as well as the amplifier by Tubes and More. Chassis choices are undetermined.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Sorry about the sideway image, photobucket would not take it horizontally, at least at a decent size.

I hope this is a transistor amplifier. But that 'plate' makes me suspicous :D
Otherwise 25wRMS to subwoofer and 2x8wRMS is a good level of power.
95% of people wouldnt ever need more. ( Discotechque Owners excluded )

The Tagband TB W3-871 are good speakers.
There are probably many around here that can give hints on using them.

I would most probably be happy with yout setup.
What I have understood Bugle is an affordable Phono amp
with very good quality.
 
Yes the Dayton is a transistor amplifier. http://www.partsexpress.com carries the Dayton lines. Plate as in made to attach to a subwoofer box.

The Bugle is "so affordable" you can choose to use 9v batteries instead of a power supply, but only get around sixteen hours of playback I believe. http://www.hagtech.com/ I plan to incorperate the power supply, but perhaps not right away. Another thought is the power supply from my preamplifier could power this I think.... I would just have to make some sort of power supply connection jack on both. This would however make the Bugle pretty much inserparable from the preamp. Perhaps I should just throw the Bugle into the preamplifier?
