GZazan Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hello all, I have a quick question for suggestions regarding buying an amplifier. I bought Klipsch RW-5802-II In-Wall Subwoofer but the suggested amplifier is out of my budget atm. Can someone suggest me another one in the range of $200-$300? My receiver is a Sony ES STR-ZA2000ES. I really appreciate any help as I have no idea what I can buy that work with no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2017 Welcome to the forums. What is your budget for an amp? Does your receiver have a subwoofer pre-out? This would be a budget amp https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-apa150-150w-power-amplifier--300-812 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My budget is anywhere between $200-$300 or at least this is how much I want to spend. If something will do the job cheaper of-course I will get it, Subwoofer has a pre-out. (I put in image below just in case). Unfortunate your link is not working. If you could post me a few options I can choose from that will be great.

juniper Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I would look into an older Panasonic saxr 55, great reviews, very musical, 100 watts dual mono, and you can get one for 100 off ebay. I have had a slew of much more expensive amps, of the 25 or so amp preamp combos, very few have bested it, at a fraction of the price. A lot of people love this amp and there are reasons for it. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could post me a few options I can choose from that will be great. I just checked and both links above are working on my end. If the links are not working for you, go to www.parts-express.com and search for Part # 300-812. It's an APA150 amplifier (100 x 1 in Bridge Mono). You would use one of the sub out's on your receiver and go into an RCA Y Splitter and plug into the the Left and Right Line Input on the sub, then speaker wire out from the amp (see Bridge Mono Label on the back of the amp) to your subwoofer.

The OP has a receiver and he is trying to connect a passive subwoofer to his setup. Unless I am missing something, I would think a Mono or a Stereo Amp that is capable of Bridging the two channels would be what he is looking for.

Actuall Actually the PANASONIC SA-XR55 7.1 CHANNEL AV CONTROL 700 WATT DIGITAL RECEIVER AMPLIFIER is a digital amplifier.. and only costs 50$ atm in ebay.

baron167 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm liking the specs and features of the Dayton Audio SA230 and Dayton Audio SA1000 subwoofer amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZazan Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Thank you all. I end up buying Dayton Audio SA230. Let's hope it's a great one and will do the job for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2017 Looks even better than my suggestion. Let us know how you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 INUKE3000DSP would be a good alternative if you don't like the Dayton. INUKE3000DSP has a ton of power, DSP to tweak the sub and many more nice features, depending upon what is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
