Is the Original Subwoofer available in kit form? I can build great cabinets and I am looking for a subwoofer to go with a friend's new home theater system. I am looking for dual 8 ohm coils, Megawoofer. Also, what size of amplifier do you recommend?
Another Question: Foam Rot. How long can I expect the Passive Radiator on the VMPS Larger Sub to last before it must be refoamed?
Hi Rory,
The New Original Kit (without cabinet) is $175. Megawoofer is $70 extra
I would suggest you select your amp according to use.
Music only low volume might be 150wpc
Loud music might need 200wpc
HT use might need at least 250wpc
Personally I like a minimum of 300wpc for all uses and find that the more power, the cleaner and stronger the bass is.
Many find the QSC and Crown pro amps work well.
I supply a lot of clients with bridged Parasound or CineNova (both around 600wpc)
I have never seen any aging PR problems (but they might exist). I have a LARGER that must be at least 10 years old and the PR is just fine.
