dks Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Good morning, I am replacing a set of aw-650s because the tweeters blew due to too an underpowered avr. Anyhow, with a more powerful avr, I decided to add a subwoofer (ca-800-tsw). I have read that some people hook it up to a separate amp vs just the avr. Would this be better to do instead of the normal way? Advantages vs disadvantages? Thanks in advance. Edited June 8, 2017 by dks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 This is an outdoor set up? A separate amp would take a load off your avr. what else is hooked up to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dks Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yes, strictly outdoors. The avr is an onkyo tx-nr100. For two channels it provides 135 wpc. The amp I have is an audiosource 100. Nothing else would be hooked up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'd get a separate amp. Your avr would work but it seems you like to push things at times and outboard amplification for the sub would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
