| Is this "el cheapo" Velleman100wRMS kit good enough for a subwoofer amp? - Click HERE for Original Thread |

| While searching through an electonics kit store, I found quite a deal on a simple solid-state amplifier. It's probbably not amazing, but would it be good enough to use as a subwoofer amplifier? Most plate-amps are much more expensive, but the actual parts cost for a "sonotube" subwoofer is not much at all, and this might be a nice way to make a cheap woofer. |

The basic velleman amplifier is good enough for a subwoofer.
I'd upgrade the value of the smoothing capacitors though.

| Out of curiousity, what is the reason that I've yet to see anyone else using one? |

Hi Spasticteapot,
Depends on the price of the kit - MCM currently has a 150w RMS @ 4 ohm plate amp available for $49.95, which is hard to beat on price and convenience.

Given the choice, I'd go the $50 plate amp route every time.
