I have a TOA 900 series P-024 (Mk I) mono amplifier that can output 220W into 8Ohms or 240W into 4Ohms. I am about to upgrade my current system to a stereo amp, and will have this amp just lying around. I was wondering if it might be in any way effective as an amplifier for a subwoofer. Could I use this in conjunction with a driver and a crossover to make a decent sub? If I can do this, will I have to make my own crossover, or can I purchase one affordably?

Or is there some better use for this fairly vintage amp?
 
It would work well but I would recommend this one instead, because I looked at the specification sheet and the THD rating is not specified under 50 Hz with a 8 ohms load, but under 0.5% with a 4 ohms load under 50 Hz.

If you don't like this one, there's two other to consider... this one:

You can build your own crossover, I don't know where you can buy one already done.
