Hi , Im New here, As well as new to the home audio world. First i will tell ya what im running,then ill ask for your opinions. I have a Yamaha
RX-V457 510W (85W x 6) My center channel is a JBL, My surrounds are Klipsch.My rears are JBL towers,use this setup for movies .When partying i switch surround speakers off so not to blow them (again) Anyways i like to use the sub for the bass since my jbl outdoor speakers cant provide no where near enough. My Cerwin Vega CLSC-15S amp is blown i bought this sub off a freind. My questions are,Can this be fixed? If so is it worth it? and what amp would be a good replacement for it? lets say 150 or less? Also i was sitting here thinking do i even need a amp for this sub? I know very little about the workings of subs,speakers so it was just a thought about making this a (passive sub)? Also the sub is in great condition and newer so id like to keep using it till i can talk wife into buying a HSU
Any thoughts ,comments, and even put downs on my typing skills welcome. Thanks All keep up the good work here i am learning alot here i was lurking for awhile till i decided to join.
