Home theater sub/amp ?

[BOBALOO]

Well, it looks like I have BAD luck with subwoofers and amps b/c the cheap and free JBL 10" sub I got for x-mas 4 years ago has finally given up. There are burn marks on the circuit board. and it might have something to do with me hooking up a 4 ohm 10" Kicker to it fro more output. :hammer2:
What kind of home subs should I look for at a reasonable price for the performance?
Can I get an amp and use the cabinet and woofer I still have and be set for future upgrades?
What kind of amps are cost friendly?
HEY ROZ !!!! Got any deals right now ???????

Anything Velodyne makes is pretty hardcore also, and with better pricing.

Sounds like the minivee would be a good fit

* Incredibly small, yet powerful
* Easy to set up and use

I have Velodyne ...
Figures.
Probably the hardest hitting subwoofer around - let alone for the $
EDIT:
Uh, ROZ? Have you seen the specs on the Velodyne CHT-R series? 230V???? Yikes! Nothing like having a 230V dryer plug installed in your living room, eh? Yeah, the wife'l love that.

I guess you all think I own a DCB or something, Let me rephrase, what can I go down to circuit city and buy that is decent and not too expensive?

[Jyruiz]

Tell us what your budget is, and I am sure we could help you out a lot better. Or you can go with this one (http://www.svsubwoofers.com/subs_pb10_isd.htm) it really packs a punch.

I have the Velodyne HGS-15, found it new for $1625 and drove 2 hrs. to get it. VERY solid performer. 1250 rms, 2" excursion, 3" voice coil, 24 lb. magnet structure, 2 year warranty. Remote took a shit after a year and a half. Called manufacturer up and they sent a new one overnight, no charge.

A few of the Velodynes can be had for around 7-800 at CC or GoodGuys. 4-500 on internet.
any less than $400 you won't want in your living room anyway.

GoodGuys is going out of biz and has all their speakers 40% off right now, lots of new in the box stuff. I saw a few velodynes there but worry about where to take them back for warranty problems after all the stores close. They had the little one Roz has for about 600$ which is at the VERY top of what I want to spend.
I cant listen to anything there though b/c it is all disconnected.
