My friend is wanting to get a setup going for his basement in his home. He has a good setup for his receiver etc, but we are going to make a custom sub/box and then an amplifier for his home theatre. We are going to try and find a decent 15" car sub with some serious excursion, and we are planning on running this:

In theory, as long as we get a crossover for it inline or some sort, will it work? It puts out 1400w RMS bridged, so we can run multiple subs at home.

Thanks for your input.

Might as well get the EP2500 (4000 now) instead for a little extra head room.

Yes it'll work well. I assume you plan to use active filtering.

Find a old Audio Control Phase Coupled Actuator Series III (it is a home epicenter + subsonic filter and 24db crossover (hp and lp).

I am going to read up on this active crossover ( im thinking it is as simple as a eq/co rack that you can adjust digitally? ) if so then yes.

I will also try to ebay that home epicenter and check it out.

As for the ep2500 it is only a little more I think your right, but only a 1400w to 1800w difference.

I know running 1400w in Car audio is ridiculous ( to me since im running a single 10 @ 200w, although I used to use an l7 @ 1k ), and my boston acoustics 10" is running 250w rms at home, and it is loud.

Therefore my belief is that even 2 15's in a large (5+ cu ft) ported box running off 1400w would be more than enough. Right? :-)

The epicenter is cool if you want subharmonics generated. The only down side is that it doesn't know when NOT to generate them so they will always be present which can get annoying. The function is defeatable of course. Looks like an impressive piece of kit otherwise.

Totally agree.

Hehe..... I have one of those old PCA series III and I love it. Makes a nice difference when listening to movies for example. The trick is to know how much restoration to use.
