    first of all, based on the info you gave about the "big black box" having speaker connections on the back, yes it's probably an amplifier... second, an amplifier is used to power your speakers, it takes a "line level" connection from a device that outputs a "line level" signal (RCA,XLR)...

    Question on Speaker Settings?

    if your mains are set to play down to 80hz with a crossover then you would want your sub to reach up to 80hz so that you wouldn't lose any part of the music like you would if the mains high pass was set to 80hz and the subs low pass was set to 50hz.....the 50 to 80hz sounds would be lost... the...

    Another strange subwoofer problem.

    all i can really say is to try a different RCA...if that doesn't change anything it sounds like the DVD player has a physical problem...how long has it been doing this? did you change anything right before this started? sorry i'm not much help... i really don't know what could be causing...

    Onkyo 797 - Two speakers on one terminal?

    wiring in parallel halfs the total impedance, hence doubling the power output of the amplifier.. series adds the two impedances together.....hence lessening the power output.. amplifier output is based on electrical resistance... the lower the resistance the more power that is gonna flow...

    Another strange subwoofer problem.

    He's not using a digital signal...his reciever is only DD ready.. 5 channel analog imputs... let me get this straight.....so when you run the "sub out" from the DVD player into the "center in" on your reciever the center does the wierd sound? or is it when you run the "center out" of the DVD...

    Low frequency question

    it depends on alot of things.....i'm definetely NO expert but the frequency at which everything rattles is mostly based on your room...and subwoofer(s) placement... my room resonates at about 45hz... that's about when i can hear the cabinets in the kitchen start to rattle...... i used to run a...

    Well, it's time for me to upgrade subs.. can I get some help?

    first off, Jenson is not a very well made product, there pretty "el cheopo" crap, in other words.. don't buy a Jenson sub... Vega isn't so bad.. not the greatest but not so bad... the best thing you could do is to buy a Shiva or a Tempest, both are GREAT drivers, and dirt cheap compared to other...

    Questions regarding seperate components for Music & HT.

    using your front two speakers in stereo is fine for music...and if your fronts wont extend down to the lower frequencies just run the subwoofer too... home theater amplifiers are fine to run music through..all there gonna do is take in the signal and ass some juice to it and pump it to your...

    Which Amp "should" be better to power a SVS sub?

    both of those are great amps... the only way you would be able to find out is to hook em both up and take a listen.. i'm suspecting the B&K is a 5 channel amp? correct? well if so i would run the Marantz since it's a mono block... i just don't like to see amp channels going to waste :)...

    what kind of systems do you guys have in your vehicles?

    does that 150 watt amp move those subs to the max? or near? man i wish my sub was efficient like that... with 400 watts RMS to it it's still got some space to go... it has 1.5" of rubber surround on it though... the recommended power imput to the sub is 600 watts and a peak of 1000...
