Can I use a power amp with this sub?

No need to use a external amp. The built in amp is more than enough. I already blew windows out of my houseboat with it

No it has a built in amp thats why its a powered sub You can run mid/high speaker off of this built in amp and you can daisy chain the input sound to other powered speakers

It has it's own quality power Amp built in so no need to use a power amp - you just feed it PreAmp input - most amps have a Mono output which would be ideal

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!

You need a powered sub. I got a Polk audio sub off amazon too and it sounds great.

Unless you plan on powering the subs with hopes and dreams you need a amp. Great amp though for the price.

That is fine, your best bet is to get a sub that can be wired at 1ohm so you can get the most out of your amp.

This should work wel for your system. The total power of my amp stated on the test sheet was 715amps. It has plenty of power. Turn off the low pass switches to the speakers and get your base from the Sub woofer! I think you will be happy!

yes, that's fine. it would still be a major major upgrade from your stock subs. but it is recommended to power any sub at about 25% more than its RMS power rating to get the most out of what you paid for it. nevertheless, you'll have fun with it vs the stock ones.

If the speakers are self-powered than yes but if your looking for the amp on the sub to power the PA speakers, no, but if that you and wire the audio by-pass on the back of the PA speakers to the sub and it will do no effect.

Yes the amp will provide enough power to give you a good quality sound for your speakers and sub.

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

The power on the rca out for the sub is intentionally low for clarity. A small amp should be used with it. I would recommend an all in one like the kicker bass station. Its a hundred watts built into the box. But im pretty sure you will need an amp for any sub connected with the rca, otherwise I would just wire it to the higher power outputs and omit the rca outs.

you will need a preamp or a reciever with preamp outputs...its a nice unit for the money, it does have a power gain control on the back of the unit if you are pairing it with another amp..good luck

No, you will need to add a sub. I used two of these for a few years without a sub, and then I invested in two 18s. To say the least, I will never leave my subs behind. If you are only using them in your home, you would probably fine with a powered 12" or 15" sub though.

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

Yes, you can hook up 2 subs connect them togeather , but one thing its better to have an extra battery for this amp to itself because if you hoook it up to ur car battery and whe u step on it it takes alot from ur battery to your amp and your car is going to die cause its too much watts fo that battery

not at its best. but you wont have to worry about blowing this sub with a amp like that. i recommend powerbass when it comes to amps

No you don't need a dedicated sub output for this sub. It has high output connections that's what great about this sub.
