I am building some computer speakers, and I am trying to figure out what I need to do. There will be 2 speakers, and a sub in my system. I've decided to use two 3" Audax full-range drivers, and they are both rated at 20W RMS. The will be assembled into a bipolar-planar configuration, most likely up-firing unless anyone can tell me a better way. 🙂
I do not know which sub driver I'd like to use with them. I think I'm going to go with an 6 to 8" driver in a 8-10 liter ported enclosure...perhaps dual drivers.
To power these speakers and the sub, I want to have a separate amp unit. I want this amp unit to be able to deliver the full 20W RMS to the L and R speakers, and I want the sub to have around 160W RMS...for a total of 200W of power for the system.
Now how does this work? Can I get a 200W amp, and somehow divide the power into 3 separate channels? IS that what a preamp is for? I'd like this amp unit to be relatively small in size, as small as possible without compromising quality. I also want the unit to be able to control Volume, Bass, Treble, Balance and subwoofer level.

Do home theater amps come in reasonably small sizes? Like maybe 6x7x1.5 inches? And what would I use to control volume, treble, bass and balance?
