olelink Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Can I do this and will it improve the former sound or does the amplifier play too large of a role (plus I know the design for the 10d is very different)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The RT series subwoofers were serous pieces of equipment and very highly regarded. I don’t think the amp in the K100SW would be a good match for a woofer that was designed to handle 700 watts RMS. I would imagine that sub amp is optimized for that woofer and was designed that way by Klipsch. Just my thoughts in the matter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should just save up and get the correct sub for my setup. I upgraded almost everything except the sub and I almost did an impulse buy of the cone just so I would have matching copper in the interim Edited May 11, 2018 by olelink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydog Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 You can always build a box for the driver and use an external amp like a Inuke to power it. What was the asking price of the driver you almost bought? Problem with going this route is that if you're going to build a box for a DIY sub, you might as well buy an 18" Ultimax instead of the 10" Klipsch driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIY would allow me to pick matching wood for the room too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
