Hiya ^^
I am planning my first diy sub build rn (Dayton Audio RSS390HF-4), and am stuck on the integration into my existing setup.
Right now, my setup looks like this:
now, my sub build is passive, so I need an amp for it. It will stand right on my desk since this is a studioish setup and I don't have a rack nor the space for one.
I first thought of an nx1000d but like all the other pro amps i looked at it doesn't have a pre out to feed into my actives after dsp crossover. Also the loud fans would be really annoying.
Next I thought of the Dayton Audio apa1200 in bridged mode. i could feed it spdif from my pc directly and rca from my phono pre. Then from the Pre out where I map the high pass to to the actives and low pass to speaker output bridged into the sub. what doesn't sit right with me though is like this i don't really use my audient anymore really, only for headphone use which happens more rarely. Also it measures like shit and costs a shitload of money in the eu (900€). There's also the dayton sa1000 with active crossover but I don't want to know how badly that one measures.
So, go with the apa1200 or something else? If so, any recommendations? 1000w would be real nice though, for future maybe more power hungry sub builds too.
Thanks!
