Ok me a 8 other guys moved into a house right next to a college campus. Needless to say we need a loud ass stereo for parties and such. Not too concerned about sound quality, as long as its got a good amount of bass and you can hear it from a block away. also, being in college, we are looking to do this as cheap as possible.
So far with our minimal knowledge we have peiced together a serviceable stereo system for the first month of school from various pawn shops and speakers weve picked up from friends for free etc. What we used for the first few weeks were a couple of 3-way 200W speakers that we picked up from a pawn shop and a yamaha htr 5930. this system worked great, it was super loud, exactly what we wanted. unfortunatly one of the subs on one of the speakers blew out. after taking it apart we discovered to spyder came unnattatched and the voice coil got fucked up. so we replaced it with an 80W 3-way speaker that we had lying around and it worked fine last weekend but it wasnt enough.
Now my question is, what should we do to get more volume? We were thinking about just getting a sub since the htr 5930 has as sub output on it but would we need an amp for it? would an amp help us get more out of the remaining 200W speaker since the reciever is only 80W per channel? Also we want to make sure that we get everything hooked up so that we dont blow out anymore equipment, we cant keep replacing speakers every month.
