andyo5 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Does this sub come with the KA-1000-THX outboard amp, or do you have to purchase it separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 If you buy from Klipsch, the amp and passive subs are sold seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyo5 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 So the subwoofer, without amp, costs $1499.00. I did see the amp on the accessories page. It sells for $1499.00. So it looks like the complete sub/amp combination costs right around $3,000.00. Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Wow, 3K for an amp and 1 enclosure! I'd be tempted to shop for used if you absolutely have to have that particular setup. 3K can buy a lot of woofage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyo5 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well, the most expensive 12" sub with on-board amp from Velodyne lists at $2600. So this places the klipsch version a bit higher. The Velodnyne is a very feature rich sub. I don't need a sub at the moment. I was just scoping out the field. I have a Velodyne FSR-12 and it is about 12 years old. Still working fine, but I did have to send its amp back to Velodyne once for repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolenrs Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 you can buy the KA-1000-THX and then build one or two DIY subs for much less, the trick is finding a source for the special NL2 speakon output connections to the amp, I was able to find a local music shop that carried them. I then built two 15" enclosures using rockford fosgate power T1 series, I have auditioned the klipsch thx subs and they are awsome, but mine are every bit as awsome plus some, and I built them both for less than one of the klipsch subs. ~ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
