Curious - I didn't get my own reply...????



How does that present a problem if the sub has its own amp with,
presumably,
a volume control?


No, I mean it is a problem when you share the main speakers' power amp
via a crossover. With a plate amp all problems vanish.



OK, that's what I thought/hoped, although I'm not out of the woods yet - the
dual driver design appears to be suggesting one sub per channel which I
don't think will work from a 'standard' plate amp....??

No worries, I'll sort it....

Actually, thinking about it, a few years ago a friend made a sub which
was aesthetically acceptable to his distaff side by modelling it as an
Ottoman. You could even use it as a seat. You can get a lot of volume
in with minimal wifely shrieking by being sneaky.
