HPower Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Got a sale notice email from PE and decided to grab 2 of the Dayton Audio SA100 plate amps to finally complete my pair of Exodus Anarchy 6.5" 25hz tapped horn subs. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sa100-100w-subwoofer-plate-amplifier--300-802 $75 a piece, I hope they are enough power for the subs... I did choose the 4 ohm version of the drivers so the SA100 will deliver 100 watts at the 4 ohm load. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I can't stand the Parts-Express sales. I always want two of everything. I think if I won a contest and PE would send me two of anything in their catalog I would want two of these: https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-18-ultimax-subwoofer-with-spa1200dsp-amplifier-and-cabinet-package--300-7200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be enough power, the anarchy subs are only rated to 100 watts but it would be nice to have some spare power. I have two of the 8 ohm versions of that sub driven by the Dayton SA230 with both driven in parallel. They seem to be able to keep up with my Belles in a small room with limited gain. What speakers are you pairing them with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HPower Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 My initial plan when I built them a couple years ago was to pair them (in stereo) with my DIY Frugalhorns up in the living room. I drive the Frugalhorns with my minty Yamaha CR2020 and it is rare that they get anymore than 10wpc, according to the 2020's meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about building one with a PE sub since the anarchy are no longer available. Thanks! Mine have been done for a couple years. Turned out nice and fit where I wanted them to (under my Belles). I went with two (one under each Belle) and they fill in the very bottom end extremely well, and blended seamlessly with the horn loaded woofer section of the mains. Definitely needed two to keep up with the very efficient mains and probably couldn't keep up in a larger room, but you can always add more of these cool little subs. I have them crossed over just under 100 hz. Not sure which PE sub you were referring to, but if you are looking at doing the 25hz tapped horn, the Tang Band is very good. I would have opted for that had they offered an 8 ohm version since I wanted to run two in parallel. Mine are the Lil' Mike version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ljk Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yes I believe it was tang brand, I would have to look up old post. Was going to build one but got side tracked when I bought some cheap magnepan's I am rebuilding. Are the subs musical or more for HT use, might be able to use them with the magnepans. Thanks.

MookieStl Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think it would pair up well with the Manepans for music. They wouldn't be my choice for HT which is more "in your face" exaggerated bass, and like Carl mentioned, many want to go lower than 25hz for HT.

Ljk Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Ok thanks guys, might have to build a pair to go with the magnepans. There not finish but I do have the wirer work done. Been playing them with my energy subs but had to borrow them from my klipsch set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
