    Replacement amp for home theatre system

    I ended up buying one of the Chinese amps from Takealot. It was R1300, but I paid using ebucks so it didn't really cost me anything. It seems to be pulling the subs just fine so far. https://www.takealot.com/supersonic-professional-karaoke-bluetooth-usb-300w-power-amplifi/PLID73886745

    Replacement amp for home theatre system

    Ok, thanks. That makes things easier. Also, the R10,000 that the Sony cost was 10 years ago so I assumed it was just due to price increases in the audio market.

    Replacement amp for home theatre system

    Am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? If my subs are 280W RMS, does that mean I need to get a power amplifier that has a similar RMS output per channel or should it be more or less than the subwoofer's rating? Thus far I've been looking for something as close to 280W RMS per...

    Replacement amp for home theatre system

    I found my system's specs now. Looks like it is 280W per sub so looks like none of those amps would work as they're only 300W (or smaller). I see Bobshop has a couple of amps with that power output, but it looks like they import them when ordered.

    Replacement amp for home theatre system

    I'd prefer to use the existing subs since they're still in good condition so maybe the powered amp would work better for me. How are the links I posted since they are somewhat cheaper than the 2nd hand one. I spent a ton of money now on the Pioneer amp so I didn't really plan on spending any...

    Replacement amp for home theatre system

    Awesome, thanks. At least now I know it is called a "Power Amplifier". So would any of these work or would anyone recommend a specific one of these? https://www.takealot.com/ak170-20w-20w-rms-mini-digital-power-amplifier-with-dc-12v-power/PLID92609383...
