You won't need a subwoofer if you're going to use these speakers as studio monitors. They produce sound pressure levels well beyond that which will cause permanent hearing damage, and in particular, produce plenty of bass. Most importantly, they are very accurate and produce no obvious sonic coloration. Why would you want to adulterate their clarity with a subwoofer?

Unfortunately, I've never tried to hook it up with a subwoofer, as I used it as a reference monitor

I would recommend you a higher amp! 2300 would be better if you want to add a subwoofer

Thanks for the reply. I see your point about hooking the sub through to the main speaker outs and then to the L/R fronts. I guess that would be pushing it quite a bit. Thanks for the tips on the powered sub. At $80, I can't really go wrong. One last thing: If I wanted to forgo the rear speakers, could the sub be hooked up to the surround outs or am I letting my complete ignorance show here? Thanks again.

Depends on your budget, but these are budget starter subs, so something light life 600rms so like 300 watts a piece n 2 ohms if possible you wouldn't get all your wattage @ 4ohm but 4 ohms is the safest for these speakers "cant" take constant beating

You can run a subwoofer off this amp. I'm not sure what you mean by powered subwoofer

If you are going to power these with an amp and spend money on an enclosure for them, you should research a subwoofer instead of these. Performance from 8-12 inch speakers will be much better. However, if you must use these as subwoofers the speaker boxes can be found by searching on amazon, looking for sealed enclosures would suit these speakers best. Explore the 8 or 10 inch subwoofers for more bass with relatively the same price after all is said and done.

A subwoofer is all you need...perhaps even getting a subwoofer with its own built in amp would be great

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

Boss is very great! I have one so do my brothers and none of us have ever had any problems with them. And they can handle a good amount of watts. I have two 2100 max subs and they sound great. And boss is pretty cheap.

I have tried a dynaco St120 clone (60 watts) and it worked great. I currently use a M125 tube amp with 120 watts and that works perfect. Plenty of power to drive these speakers.

If you want to do a little DIY :Dayton Audio SUB-1500 15&quot; 150 Watt Powered SubwooferIs a very capable subwoofer for a 100 less that the Klipsch

Using the Energy ESW-8HG 8" 200 watt Take Classic subwoofer - just because I like to pair things if I can, sounds very good overall.Enjoy

I'm on a budget, and am using a Yamaha YST-SW216 powered sub (around $130 here), which works fine.

I power this sub with a 500 watt max mono kicker amp. These subs can handle more in my opinion so far since I've had it

That would be fine. In fact it would be a little under powered with two subs which is fine. They will take about 700 to 1000 a piece with no issues.

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

Mine does a great job powering 4- 6 inch speakers . But I dont have a sub installed . if you want a strong bass I would look into a mono amp for the sub and this one for the speakers
