I would like to get some advice on a good first amp project. I currently am running two Infinity SM115's and a couple JL audio 10w3 's in an enclosure as a subwoofer. The sub is powered by an Apex Jr subwoofer amp. Prob a little low on the power side for the 300w rating on the 10w3's but it seems to drive them quite well.
Anyway I have this old sony STRDE505 reciver that I'm running the front speakers with.
I guess what I need is someone to just give me a little rundown about what exactly I need to go to some gainclones. Do I need to buy a preamp to use them?
I want to have a really good sounding home system for listening for music but I also plan to use it for home theatre surround as well. So what's the skinny?
I have a PC with an D-Audio 10 channel soundcard that I use for a home recording studio, I thought I could use it to do the surround processing when necessary.
Any guidance would be appriciated.
My Skills:
I have some basic electronics understanding and have done quite a few small electronics projects throughout my life. Soldiering would not be a problem. I guess what I would be looking for is a good quality kit that I could assemble myself that is going to give me the best sound quality for the money. I have a woodworking shop so I could make my own enclosure for the amp.
Thanks in advance for any help
