|   SUBWOOFER question | unc
Nov 29, 2001 1:08 PM | | I am kind of new to the whole home theater thing, but was wondering if it is possible to hook up a car stereo subwoofer in a home theater setting. We are trying to build an actual theater in our living room and are going to put a sub or 2 under the couch on a wood and carpeted platform. We would like to use some car sub's so we can make our own enclosures for them, but are not sure how much power we need for 300 or 500W subs. If anyone could help and let us know what we would need (receiver or amp.) and what power we would need to push them it would be greatly appreciated. |

You can not just put a woofer in a box and make it a sub. You will get booming or muddy sound if not done right. Look for a 12" or 15 " sub made by KLM $150 to $200. |
