Subject: Re: choosing an amp


should be able to. Most receivers have a mono "sub out" RCA jack which one can plug into one's powered subs. The issue of course, is that it is mono. If you want to have 'stereo' bass, which is only useful once in a while because lots of bass material is mixed to mono so that channels on a stereo (and consequently both woofers) share the load equally. Another approach is to use 'speaker level' inputs, one sub driven from the left channel, the other from the right (with separate sub-amps of course). I own the Dayton 240w amp, and the speaker level inputs work great. I do have one concern and that is that I must run the gain almost all the way up because I'm not pushing a huge signal to my main speakers (40-50w or so). Bose speakers probably don't need much more than that so you might have trouble driving the sub hard enough through those inputs.

oh, and fyi:
"No highs, no lows, it's Bose."
"Bose: Better sound through marketing."

Just some of the many sayings about Bose's highly over-hyped and overpriced products.
