I was at a friend's house last night and he was showing me the subs he got on a trade. It's a couple Phoenix Gold Octane R 12". He wants to use them in two separate enclosures for his home theater setup. Right now he's using a Logitech X-540 5.1 system and he also has a spare Logitech Z-5500 setup with a blown amp in storage. He wants to continue using Logitech satellites for now and maybe upgrade those later. He uses it mostly for his XBox360 and is just using the audio outs from there straight into the Logitech sub/amp unit.
So... here's what he's got:
-Xbox360 (source)
-Two PG Octane R-12's (SVC 4ohm)
-A set of Logitech X-540
-A set of Logitech Z-5500 with a blown amp
If it were me I'd probably sell the X-540, buy a receiver for the X-5500 sattelites and a pro audio amp for the subs, but he wants to spend as little money as possible. I was thinking maybe plate amps would be the cheapest way to get the subs involved, but any way I look at it I think he's going to have to get a receiver of some kind to power the satts and control the overall volume.
Any ideas?
