Good amp for Rockustics SubSub 15?

Hello,

First time poster here and audio novice.

I have a Sonos home audio system with six outdoor speakers (2 Bose Free Space 51, 2 Definitive Technology AW 5500, and 2 Polk Atrium 6), all run with amps sourced through Sonos connects.

I got a good deal on a Rockustics SubSub 15 (specs below), and want to add it to my outdoor arrangement with another separate Sonos Connect and amplifier, but I'm having a really hard time finding the right amplifier (powerful enough with an integrated crossover). The closest I can find is the Dayton SA1000, but it doesn't have a volume control.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks so much.

The SubSub 15 is perfect for outdoor areas where you want powerful bass. Use it in themed entertainment, resorts, parks and large gardens.

Subs dont have volume controls, they have gain control. Wouldnt your current preamp serve as the VC?

Any amp will do as the sub looks real easy to drive. Any pro amp would work

Behringer inuke 3000 would be fine..@199 to 249. The external dayton too. Crown drivecore series etc..

Dayton SA1000, but it doesn't have a volume control.
The Gain Control knob on the SA1000 is the volume control for the bass.

Pro amps like the Crown or Yamaha amps would also do the trick. They all have Gain control (Volume control).

As for the crossover, the AVR or Processor can do that. Use the Subwoofer output on the AVR and connect to the Dayton, Crown, or Yamaha amp.
