I plan on using two of these for a massage chair. can i use an insignia ns-r2001 stereo as the amp? or should i get a sub amp for low freq only?

I am no expert but after doing my research this is what I got. Lepai LP-168HA 2.1 2 x 40-Watt Amplifier and 1x68W Sub OutputIt isn't turned up all the way and it still does the job well. I do recommend a base amp so it will only go off when base sounds come through

You dont need a sub amp. A sub amp is usually an amp with a low pass filter. I am using a full range onkyo with good results. However as a massage chair they won't be all that great. These will give a mild vibration not a massage. That would be annoying for a movie.

Depends on how much power you are putting into the system. I have two of these on an AQ1200. But they could take more. If you want more volume at lower rms, use two subs. Double cone volume-> 3db, double rms-> 3db. 6db I'd twice as loud to the human ear. As far as sound quality I think these aren't the most accurate subs but they definitely could be a lot worse. If you listen to lots of rap and boomy sounding bass, go with this sub, ported at 35hz in 1.5 to 2 cubic ft of box

Definitely. I'm using that same amp to deliver about 750 W RMS to that same sub and the amp doesn't even get warm. Specs for that amp are 750 W, but my birth sheet was 880 W. One of my friends has been running 900 W to that sub for a couple years now. You should have absolutely no problem.

Spec sheet in ad says "yes". I don't use a sub. I'd double check and look at the manual online.

This amp is perfect for you're two 10inch subs . Make sure you load them to 1ohm.I have it installed in 2 12 type R's and it bumps.

Hi Eric,I will certainly recomend a seperate amp to power this sub. I tried bridging speakers and adding the sub. It just drew to much from one amp. The amp was getting to hot and shutting down. I chose to go with the Kenwood KAC-5206. This sub sits behind the passengers seat in a 97 Ford Ranger. And man this thing THUMPS!

I running a 700 watt Arc audio amp into a sealed enclosure of 1.5 SQF And it sounds great. Has as much SLP as my old Alpine R12 ported, maybe even more? Now I am thinking about getting the NS V3 12' 2500 watt Sundown sub! After enjoying the SA 12 I need to hear the V3 and maybe scare some old people while I'm at it! Lol

I have the Yamaha RX-A830 that I'm running with four of the Infinity Reference R162s. I added the XPA-200 for the front pair - it makes a noticeable difference. There was definitely a lot of tweaking involved, you need to devote time to adjusting the settings to meet your preferences. That said, if you are deciding between a power-amp and a subwoofer, I would suggest getting a subwoofer. I got the XPA-200 then added a sub. The XPA made a big difference, the sub made a larger difference. Between the RX-V663 and the R162s, you have a solid foundation for a good system - if you're comfortable devoting more capital, then I think you'll be happy with the investment in a sub and/or a power amp. As far as power amps go, I found the XPA-200 to be the best value for new products, though I'm intrigued to hear others' thoughts. I am a very happy customer.

I have a super high end mirage sub that works great off it. You may have a grounding issue if there's a hum or a connection problem when you get a humming sound.

It would probably be best to get a mono. Every sub set up I've had, I always went with a mono amp for it.

I would NOT recomend this amp for a Sub Amp, at most it would be useful for small door speakers X2 , it would only push out about 25 - 35 RMS clean watts, That's equal to a powerful head unit.

I looked for a Planet Audio 4000 Watt amp and found this, the AC4000.1D. They claim it makes 1,500 RMS, if that is the case, it will be enough to get them moving pretty good. I have a 2000 Watt soundstream on them, and it is pretty ridiculous. I think the amp you mentioned will work if it is something you already have, but if you are looking to get an amp for them, I would stay away from Planet Audio.

Definitely avoid Audiosource. I ended up buying a DBX 215 graphic EQ. I've used DBX equipment in the past and it's solid professional stuff. The 215 is a 15 band EQ which is designed for a rack system and for musical instruments but is slim and small enough to fit in with your home sound system. The only adjustment you'll need are 4 plug adapters that you can get from Radio Shack with an RCA female input from your stereo to a male standard guitar output. They're inexpensive, only a few dollars. I've had DBX for a few years now with excellent results. No distortion, just excellent professional sound quality. I bought it off of Amazon. You might have to go to the musical instrument section on Amazon to find it. It does boost the volume and sound but whether it would act as a good preamp I'm not sure. My system is disc player to EQ to amp. I haven't used my turntable is years. Good Luck

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

I haven't checked the specs, but it certainly seems to maintain the balance between the external subwoofer and satellite systems. I am using two of these amps to drive separate subwoofer/satellite systems, one at home and one at work. You have to set the cutoff frequency and gain on the subwoofers once, but then there is no obvious imbalance when you increase or decrease the volume on the amp.

Are you trying to use this as an input to the Sub, or an output from the sub to the PA? I am using a RCA to 3.5 mm cable as input from another source to the sub, and then the sub's low level output to monitors, and that works fine. All of those are low level, though. If you are inputting TO the sub from the PA, i would think it would have to be non amplified signal or damage could occur. I'm not sure if the stereo link feature on that PA is low level or not.

Hi there! The 1x12 gets loud enough for small bars, but if there is a house PA, you may just want to mic the cab. I have an ElectroHarmonix 22Caliber power amp, and in a bar sized practice room, I can tune feedback from about 10 feet. Nice!
