cheapest subwoofer plate amp ever?

trespasser_guy · 31st March 2003, 03:18 PM

I am sorry for the double posting in this forum... but my other topic is basically not related... and this may attract more attention.

Anyway, I need help! I am into a subwoofer project... and need an amp in the worst way. I have roughly $50 (less really... but could barely sqeeze out $50) to spend on a plate amp or something similar. I really don't want to build one since I will have issues finding an enclosure for the finished product, and my heatsinking would be inadequate at best. So, I would like to buy a nice cheap amp... on the Apex Junior site, I saw a bunch of amps that were really low priced, but I worry about that since I really don't know what I am getting. My woofer can take 115W max, so it is not the greatest sub ever, but I already have a 440W one, and am just interested in adding a little output down low. If the amp has no xover in it, I will use a 12dB/octave xover @100Hz. Does anyone know where I can get such a cheap sub amp? Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Heck, for that matter, if you know of any amps, not necessarily plate types that will put out 100+W into 8-ohms and are under $50, tell them too! Plate is preferred, but any will do- I just need an amp.

I would guess that Steve's prices are hard to beat. We are talking bargain basement in terms of quality and price, and at least Steve will honestly answer any questions you have about his amps. Not many places can claim that.
