Powered sub amps?

juxta · 17th August 2010, 08:37 AM

Hey can anyone direct me to a site that sells onboard amps? I'm looking at building a few subs with this driver,

Ryda Car Audio - JBL GTO1514 15" Car Subwoofer($194.85)

I just wanted to know if it'd be any where near as economical as building them passive and getting one big amp to power them

Cheers in advance

what supply voltage is available?
Is it 12Vdc or 13.8Vdc or 110/120Vac or 220/240Vac?

We have 220-240V/50Hz down here, I hadn't thought about that!

many sell "plate amps" specifically to attach to bass speaker cabinets.
They usually have extra EQ & filters to dial in the bass response needed.

Ok thanks I'm searching for plate amps now, I'm familiar with a fair bit of audio gear but I wasn't even sure what onboard amps are called!

Cheers djk How would these amps run in a pro sound application? i.e. full power for extended periods..
