New sub amp.

A Dayton SA 230.

This is a stand alone amp, adjustable bass & frequency boost, variable phase, and your standard crossover and volume. Plus some other features I'll never use.

So far I'm impressed, far more latitude to dial in for the sound you want, a definite step up from the Dayton SA 240 plate amps I was using. All three of which have blown up for me. I will say one thing for the 240, if you take one apart and go to enough trouble, they make a middling set of binding posts.

Combined with the old 10" Titanic MKIII sub I own, I now have a $500 loudness control. But at least I can bypass those damn tone controls on the preamp.

If the 230 will last for a few years, as opposed to those miserable plate amps which are lucky to make it out of warranty, I'll consider it $199 well spent.

At least I can stand to listen to my rekkerd player again. That's worth a crummy 200 bucks any day.

PS: I'm drinking beer and feel chatty. Not to mention I finally cleared my plate of a particularly nasty project which has been driving me insane. I really can't remember the last time I was in this good of a mood.

I gotta get my eyes checked. I read the title of this thread and thought it said 'Sub App'. After seeing that Subway Sandwich shop has a new app to order food ahead of time.... I thought that was what this thread was about.

Keep showing up around here and we'll turn you into an audio geek too.

D Ray,
I have a tin ear. Between my husband and I, we couldn't carry a tune in a bucket if we had to.

My boys, on the other hand, are very musically talented and appreciate music of all kinds. Must be some sort of recessive gene or something.

Now you need to get a couple of more subs for distributed bass and extend your good mood.

BASH is a plate amp.

Nixon finds his permanent place in the culture.
